Winter in Moscow, and life trudges on through the slush and snow, with a population still coming to terms with the last 15 years of massive change.

The Kremlin has opened it's doors, American fast food outlets litter the streets, and Moscow has become the most expensive city in the world. Impressive subways, with an astonishing amount of standing art, offer rapid transport to bypass the crowded roads in which the new middle class now drive their nice new cars.

Moscow is open, but very bleak in winter!
