Painting of the Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge over the Moskva River in Moscow (Russia)

Through wars, fires, the ages,

This scarlet sound flies through the air

This sound rings from afar

It is the heart of Russia ringing.

In the bright gold of its holy domes

The face of the sun is proudly multiplied

With the return of the two-headed eagle

The Russian languages lives on.

Moscow! The bells are ringing.

Moscow! Golden domes.

Moscow! In the gold of your icons

Runs the chronicle of the ages.

Moscow, song by Oleg Gazmanov

New Arbat Bridge over the River Moskva in Moscow (Russia )

Borodinsky Bridge over the Moskva River in Moscow (Russia)

Not even a whisper is to be heard in the garden, everything has calmed down until dawn. If you only knew how dear they are to me the evenings near Moscow!The river is moving and (sometimes) not, all made of the moons silver. A song sounds and is not to be heard In those quiet evenings.

Lyrics of Moscow Nights,

Vladimir Troshin

Bogdan Khmelnitsky Bridge over the Moskva River in Moscow (Russia)

"Who wants to understand Russia, should know Moscow"

Anton Chekhov
