In Moscow, on Arbat, in the gloomy November of pre-revolutionary 1898, Anton Chekhov, already a recognized master of the pen, found himself in the Pushkin Memorial Apartment. The wind whispered sad songs, and the rain, like bitter tears, knocked on the windows. Chekhov, sheltered from the bad weather, sought inspiration among the ancient walls, where the voice of Alexander Sergeyevich himself once sounded.
Unexpectedly for himself, Anton met here the young Nicholas II, who, as it turned out, decided to visit the apartment of the great poet in search of answers to his own questions. The majestic emperor looked like an ordinary man who had temporarily forgotten about his royal duties. They began to talk, and Nicholas, tired of the burden of power, shared his innermost secrets with Chekhov.
"You know, Anton Pavlovich," Nikolai began, "I've been wondering if I should go to a monastery? This power, these endless worries... Maybe the silence of a cell is what I'm looking for?"
Chekhov, a keen observer of human souls, smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, pre-revolutionary Moscow will not forgive you for such a choice. But perhaps love... for literature? It can also become a monastery where one can go to forget about everything else."
Nikolai thought about it. Love… Yes, it could be his salvation. But not for literature, but for his people, for his country. He thanked Chekhov and left the apartment, taking with him not only words, but also new hope.
Anton remained in the silence of the empty rooms, thinking about how strangely the destinies of people in this world intersect, and how love, in its most varied manifestations, can change the entire course of history.
And when Chekhov went out onto the Arbat, the rain no longer seemed so cold, and the wind - so ominous. It was an ordinary Moscow evening, in which great secrets and simple truths were hidden.

Thank you and Masha for yesterday!
The speakers are happy. The connection in the headphones often failed, especially at the checkpoint, but this is our current life situation. It was audible if they were standing close, no further than 1.5 meters. Colleagues have already asked for your contacts. I will gladly share and will be glad to have a new opportunity to work with you. Special thanks to the Director for the Bureau

There was a great tour of the area. Patricks.
We learned a lot of new things. Anastasia is a master of her craft. The tour was exciting, not boring at all, lively and interesting. Everyone was satisfied. Full of new impressions. I definitely recommend it. You will be satisfied!
Overall, this wasn’t the first time I’ve walked around Moscow with Anton, and each time it was a real adventure!
I wanted to express my gratitude once again for the wonderful excursion on Saturday - we really enjoyed the walk, the information and the communication with you, then we discussed for a long time what everyone remembered and what struck them. It would seem that you have lived in Moscow all your life, there was Moscow studies at school, but it turns out that you still don’t know so much!! In general, thank you very much, my mother said it was the best gift for her birthday!
Note: this is about the excursion "Soul of Moscow«
I will definitely recommend this company to my friends and we will use its services ourselves.
Excellent organization of excursions, all wishes were taken into account, punctuality at the highest level
Note: Review of the excursion-performance, which the guide Alexander specially developed as part of the order "Dream Tour".
"Theater capital" - an author's route through the places of Meyerhold, Stanislavsky, Nemirovich-Danchenko, Tairov (undeservedly forgotten, it was he who created the current Pushkin Theatre on Tverskoy Boulevard).
Two and a half hours of fascinating stories and urban theatre legends. I'll tell you one:
The great composer Sergei Prokofiev lived in Kamergersky Lane. And he managed to die on the same day as Stalin. There was a terrible crush in Moscow, everything was blocked off, the entire capital wanted to say goodbye to the leader. So, to see Prokofiev off, the coffin was carried out from Kamergersky Lane on the roofs. I can vividly imagine this picture.
