On one of those rare sunny days when even the Moscow weather decides to give in to some fun, Mayakovsky Theatre A guest who had arrived was not at all a theatrical guest. An official whose fame in high circles was based on dubious financial maneuvers decided to enjoy the cultural program and touch the great heritage. However, his real goal was not art at all.
This official, Alexander Petrovich, known behind the scenes as the "embezzler," arrived at the theater intending to meet the director and discuss the possibility of a private deal. But there was a problem: his companion, a young and ambitious journalist, was a big fan. Vladimir Mayakovsky and sincerely believed in the power of love and poetry.
As they took their seats in the auditorium, Alexander Petrovich was preoccupied with thoughts of future financial flows, while his companion, Liza, was immersed in studying the program. Her attention was drawn to one of Mayakovsky's poems, which she read aloud: "To love is to see a miracle invisible to others." These words awakened in her a desire to see something greater than the ordinary.
Meanwhile, a comedy about love, full of misunderstandings and funny situations, was being played out on stage. As the action unfolded, Alexander Petrovich became more and more immersed in the atmosphere. And then, at the climax, when the actors were discussing the meaning of true love, the official unexpectedly experienced something like an epiphany. He remembered his youth, when love was not just a word for him, but the meaning of life.
After leaving the theater, Alexander Petrovich unexpectedly decided it was time to change his life. In a conversation with Liza, he confessed that a long-forgotten feeling had awakened in his heart—a desire to be honest, at least with himself. Liza, inspired by his unexpected frankness, offered him sincere friendship, remarking that "it was all worth it."
So, on the day when the sun decided to play with Moscow, the theater became a place not only for performance, but also for personal rebirth. Alexander Petrovich realized that the real theater of life requires honesty and love, not deceit and greed. Mayakovsky, even though long gone, once again became a source of inspiration for one of his unwitting viewers.

Of course, this is a joke, and there is no real basis for this story - just a little imagination and for the sake of a smile! And if you are interested in real facts and events, we invite you to the excursions of the "Radius" bureau, where real history comes to life!
A very nice young man, we visited with him such lovely courtyards, alleys, the existence of which we did not even suspect, we learned so many new things,
We really liked everything and hope to continue our acquaintance.
Alexander! Thank you! We had a great time with you and thoroughly enjoyed it. See you soon!
What we personally missed: we would have liked more of a historical section related to ancient Moscow and the history of Kitay-gorod. There were quite a few stories about the Soviet period and bar life, but for our group, it wasn't very relevant. We think the program could have been more tailored to the age and interests of the group.
It would also have been interesting to add more historical facts, monuments, and details about old Moscow and the area itself. That said, the tour was still interesting, and some places and churches were truly memorable. These aren't really "cons," but rather suggestions for an even more comprehensive program.
We had a corporate group of 10 people. Our guide was Anton, and we had a tour of Bulgakov. I would like to point out the excellent organization; everything went smoothly. The managers were very accommodating to our changes in the number of participants. The bus was very comfortable. Anton is a super-engaged and motivated guide.
He lives this story and takes great pleasure in sharing his knowledge and creating impressions.
Everything went well. I recommend it!

Was on excursions along Sukharevskaya Square – we reached Tsvetnoy Boulevard, I didn’t expect it to be so interesting!
For those who are wondering whether to go or not – go, it really has become one of the coolest summer memories!!!
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
Note: excursion “Heart of the capital"for participants of the Moscow Oncology Forum 2025. Guides – Anastasia and Maria
It was very interesting to hear how the Krasnaya district developed. Presni, how Prokhorov's figure influenced the development of our city. A pleasant dive into a quiet, previously unexplored area!
Note: we are talking about the excursion with the guide Anton
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“
