One of those days when the grey Moscow sky, like an ancient velvet curtain, descended upon the city, Stalinist skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya embankment interesting guests gathered. A famous writer was there too Fyodor Dostoevsky, who was invited by a merchant known in Moscow for his pre-revolutionary affairs.
The merchant, an enterprising man with a lot of imagination, decided to surprise everyone with his new idea. He was fascinated by the topic of space, and as a true dreamer, he decided to organize an evening dedicated to the stars and planets.
The wind walking along the embankment brought with it coolness and the whisper of autumn leaves. Dostoevsky, known for his love of reflection, stood at the window, watching the lights of Moscow reflected in the waters of the river. He thought about the eternal, about space and how small a person is in the face of the immensity.
The merchant, friendly and hospitable, invited his guests to climb up to the roof of the high-rise building to look at the stars through a telescope he had recently acquired. “We all come from the people, from their depths,” he said, addressing Dostoevsky, “and we strive for the stars, no matter how high they are.”
It was chilly on the roof, but the breathtaking view of Moscow and the bright stars made us forget about the cold. The guests, wrapped in blankets, peered into the sky, discussing the latest discoveries of astronomers and pondering what awaits humanity in the future.
Dostoevsky, inspired by the atmosphere, shared his thoughts about the human soul, about how it, like a star, strives for the light, despite all the hardships and difficulties. His words found a response in the listeners, and the evening became more and more heartfelt.
Meanwhile, the merchant, seeing that the guests were engrossed in conversation, came up with a new idea - to create a society of astronomy lovers, so that everyone could touch the secrets of the universe. And at that moment, when the Moscow night hid the stars behind the clouds, he realized that his dream could become reality.
This is how this unusual evening on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment ended, leaving a light of hope and inspiration in the hearts of the guests.

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.
