Moscow (Russian: Moskva) is the capital of the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; Soviet Union) from 1922 to 1991, and since 1991 of the Russian Federation. I have been in Moscow during Soviet times. But, due to short visits, I haven’t explored the city as much as I wished to. So, when I planned this three-day trip, I put the following sights on my memography list
– The Red Square
– Lenin’s Mausoleum (Lenin’s Tomb)
– The State Tretyakov Gallery
– Cathedral of St. Vasily the Blessed
– The Kremlin and its Spasskaya Clocktower
– The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
– Old Arbat Street
– Local theatrical performance (Moscow Academic Theater named after Mayakovsky)
– Boat Tour of Moscow
I was happy to check-mark all sights on this list except Lenin’s Mausoleum. Unfortunately, my schedule and its schedule didn’t match. If you are going to see Lenin’d embalmed body, keep in mind that Mausoleum is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends from 10am to 1pm, when Red Square is cordoned off especially for this occasion.
