Текст A - 3. A city trip back in time 

Miniature Moscow is a very detailed depiction of the USSR’s capital. 300 workers  created it in 1977 for the 60th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. A complicated lighting system makes the 122-meter model very realistic. There are lighting variations between daylight and nighttime. Every window shines with different lights. Even the windows of the boat on the river are brightened. The model is on display in the elegant Hotel Ukraina and is still enjoyed by curious tourists who want a peek of the Soviet Moscow. 

Текст B - 6. A park of sealed affection 

Dozens of trees adorned with hundreds if not thousands of padlocks decorate the banks of the Moscow River. Some padlocks are often made in the shape of a heart, and each tree symbolises a couple’s eternal love in marriage. When two people get married, they write their names on a padlock, lock it to some free space on one of the metal trees, and toss the key into the river. Although the practice is common in many other countries, the iron trees with lovers’ locks make Moscow’s bridge of love a unique and romantic site.

Текст C - 8. Time travel confirmed 

The earliest mystery of Golosov Ravine in Kolomenskoye Park dates back to 1621 when part of a Tatar cavalry turned up at the walls of the Tsar’s palace. They claimed to be part of the army that had attacked Moscow in 1571. Sensing defeat they fled into Golosov Ravine where they got lost in a thick green mist. They spent what seemed like only a few minutes finding their way through the fog, but emerged 50 years later. They carried outdated equipment, and an inquiry formed by the Tsar found that the men “probably told the truth.”

Текст D - 4. Devices with history 

A lot of arcades have their special tokens for their games. But few have Soviet-er 15-kopek coins complete with a hammer and sickle. A few Russian students in the basement of a technical school preserve the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games. There are about 60 machines from the Soviet era, including video games, pinball machines, and collaborative hockey football. Although only 50 to 55 of the games are playable, each of the machines paints a picture of life and entertainment behind the Iron Curtain.

Текст E - 2. A castle of childhood 

Although there isn’t currently a Disneyland in Russia, the next closest thing lies on the far outskirts of Moscow. This giant, six-story medieval palace coloured in shades of orange, green, and pink appears to be one of Moscow’s most magical amusement parks. In reality, the towering chateau is a lavish kindergarten for 150 children. Pavel Grudinin, the architect of the building, wanted to share magic and fun with the kids of the area so they were always inspired and never bored.

Текст F - 7. A mechanical wonder 

The elegant clock dates to 1777 when a noted automaton builder James Cox created it. It arrived in Russia in 1797 and was for a time owned by Prince Grigory Potemkin, Since the 18th century visitors have enjoyed the singing of three birds — an owl, a peacock, and a rooster. A squirrel, a fox, and other creatures can also be seen among the metal foliage. The actual dial of the clock is hidden in a mushroom. The clock is now the only large example of 18th century robotics to have survived unchanged into the 21st century. 

Текст G - 1. A road to the sky 

On a bright and colourful archway in the courtyard of a contemporary art complex hangs a simple sign denoting “John Lennon Street”, with a big blue arrow pointing up. A devoted Beatles fan started this unique little spot. He had wanted to turn one of Saint Petersburg’s real streets into a monument to the beloved band, but city authorities refused this idea. So, he designed a street sign and added an arrow pointing up. But now the street does not go along the ground and thus does not fall under the jurisdiction of officials.
