Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is an outstanding Russian writer and playwright, whose works, such as The Cherry Orchard and The Seagull, have become classics of world literature. His work is distinguished by deep psychology, subtle irony and a unique ability to reveal the human soul.
Thoughts on Chekhov and Shakespeare after a photo with Sophia Loren
Radius does not have tours of Chekhov's Moscow, much less Shakespeare's Moscow. But today, seeing a photograph of Sophia Loren on Anton Pavlovich's grave, I had the idea to compare the works of these two pillars of world drama. In general, the world popularity rating of playwrights looks something like this: William Shakespeare Anton Chekhov (it is unusual to write his name without a patronymic) Moliere is a French playwright of the 17th century, whose…

How much more expensive are personal tours than mass tours?
If you are alone or in pairs, then a sum of several thousand for a walking tour of the city or twenty thousand for a car excursion is significant.
But if you're going for a walk with family or friends, the cost for an individual participant approaches one or two thousand - the amount that each person would pay for a group excursion with strangers.
For your group of 8 or more people, the price becomes even lower when calculated per person, making a private tour truly attractive.
