Day of the Retail/Trade Workers
I can’t say that retail sector is one that just blows you away with its efficiency here in Russia.

Why living off the land can be a bit of an acquired taste
In 1615, Dutch envoy Anthonis Goeteeris, on finding himself in Moscow, wrote: “The Russians have a very strange cuisine.” Although Russian food is generally thought to be monotonous, it is actually rich in original recipes.

When spies become intelligence officers
How do you say "spy" in Russian? What about "espionage?" And how do you distinguish "spying" from "gathering intelligence?"

Moscow has been turned into the world centre of young art during the month of July as it hosts 63 contemporary art exhibitions. Entitled Qui Vive? (Stop! Who goes there?), the Biennale for Young Art combines the effervescence of the Russian scene with art from around the world.

No depiction of Lenin can be deemed offensive in Russia anymore. Add Jesus Christ to the parody, however, and the portrait can be downright criminal
