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.

This is a section of the Muzeon Park of Arts where there are many old artifacts from Soviet days as well as other works of art, mainly sculptures and statues. There are still many of these all over Russia (that is, they were not all taken down upon the collapse of the Soviet Union) but here is a place where you can see some representative ones, including ones of famous people from that era. If you have only a short time in Moscow, perhaps this place would not be at the top of my list, but if you've covered the major attractions and are looking to go a little deeper, it's worth a visit and well situated to combine with visits to other attractions.
