10 Monuments & Statues in Taganskiy That You Shouldn't Miss
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

As well as your soul and every-damn-thing inside you that can feel pain. Who, except for us Russians, remembers today the first of September of 2004? Terrorist attack on a school in Ossetia, Northern Caucasus, 1,128 hostages seized, most of them children, 331 died including 186 boys and girls. Me and my wife walked across central Moscow and stumbled upon this extraordinary piece of art in February. A tribute to killed kids... We were electrified by pain. We had watched that tragedy live, on TV. Exhausted, half-naked children scared to death to such an extent that they could not walk. Our soldiers bringing them out of that inferno in their own hands, covering them with their own bodies - undefended from behind. Thank you, Mr Tsereteli! Your architectural sins against Moscow are enormous but by this monument you've at least tried to atone for them. Please hold on for a couple of minutes, take off your hat and bow your head. One hundred and eighty-six innocent souls perished among bullets of grown-up bearded cannibals, after all...
