On the outskirts of Moscow, where the Sparrow Hills rise above the surface of the Moscow River, on one of the clear autumn days, two seemingly completely different people met: Eugene Onegin, a hero of Pushkin's era, and Catherine II, a wise empress. Their meeting was unexpected, but it was here, among the golden autumn leaves and fresh wind, that a friendship began that became a real discovery for them.
This morning, Vorobyovy Gory was shrouded in a light fog, which gradually dissipated under the warm rays of the autumn sun. Evgeny, skeptical of everything around him, walked along the paths, reflecting on the vicissitudes of his life. In his hands was a ticket to a concert, which he never attended, preferring the solitude of nature.
Catherine II, having returned from the past to this imaginary reality, studied with interest the changes that had taken place in Moscow. She admired the panorama of the city, opening up from above, and thought about how Russia had changed since her time.
Their meeting was accidental, but, as often happens in life, it is precisely such meetings that become fateful. They talked about many things: politics, literature, life. Evgeny shared his thoughts about how boring and monotonous his life had become. Ekaterina, possessing wisdom and life experience, suggested that he look at the world from a different perspective, to see in every day an opportunity for self-improvement.
The conversation dragged on, and after some time, Evgeny admitted that he was thinking about going to a monastery to find peace of mind and the meaning of life. Ekaterina, with a kind smile, reminded him of three important things: the value of friendship, the meaning of the present moment, and the ability to accept the world as it is.
As they spoke, a soft evening fell on Vorobyovy Gory. The lanterns came on, illuminating the paths and giving the place a special atmosphere. Their conversation came to an end, but both knew that this meeting had left a mark on their hearts.
They parted ways, but each took something valuable with them: Evgeny - the understanding that friendship can be a source of inspiration, and Ekaterina - the confidence that even in a changed world there is a place for eternal truths.

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“
