Moscow
Moscow is the capital of Russia and also its largest city. Formerly the
capital of the Soviet Union, it lies on the Moscow River.
I visited Moscow in November 1986 for a few days, and thoroughly
enjoyed it - except for the food and the cockroaches !  We stayed on
Gorky Street at the Intourist Hotel , now thankfully knocked down.  We
had some fun teasing the Intourist Guide, who had little sense of humour,
and managed to "escape" from the "official"  tour and explore Moscow for
ourselves. We found the people delightful when they knew they weren't
being scrutinised by a person or persons unknown ! There was a bug in
our hotel room, in the table lamp - it fell apart and there was a tiny
microphone ! So we said lots of nice things about the Soviet regime ! The
Metro is fabulous and easy to use. No doubt there have been many
changes in 20 years - not all for the best !
