When you first arrive in Russia, you will be very surprised to see an enormous number of bears, walking around and seeking food...
So, the bears come with wooden platforms on their backs. People get upon them and go to work. It can take 2-3 hours to get to work. It’s a barbaric procedure. But it is faster than walking. Indeed, the big letter “M” atop all subway stations stands for “Medved” that is Russian for “bear”...
Subway is open only in the summer because in the winter many of the bears hibernate. Walking around the streets, you will see many big mountains in the snow. Every such mountain is a bear in its mini-house. You can leave it a loaf of bread or a carton of milk--the bear will eat this when it goes outside to pee.

So Moscow is a city with a very rich cultural background. I hope that my research will help other foreigners to prepare to visit this big and strange country. Thank you.
