Sheremetyevo to the center of Moscow the Kutuzov way

Here is something that will place me way ahead of my competitors in the business of transporting you and your luggage from Sheremetyevo to anywhere in Moscow. Time and traffic permitting we'll turn it into a tour along the Kutuzovsky Prospect, a whole highway dedicated to the military glory. At no extra charge. Here is something to give you an idea of what we'll see.

A monument symbolizing anti-tank fortification to commemorate Germans' failure to capture Moscow in the fall and winter of 1941.

A bright example of what is often referred to as the Luzhkov style of architecture. Luzhkov is the mayor of Moscow since '94.

Suburban moonscapes. If you are the type fascinated by despair we'll pause to contemplate these.

Entering the Kutuzovsky district populated by party officials, high-ranking war veterans, and dozens of monuments.

Our first major monuments at the beginning of the Victory Park. In the park you'll find several museum dedicated to showing the esthetics and glamour of murder weapons, and a few religious buildings dedicated to the war dead.

Guns and tanks in the Victory Park. All point West of course, even the modern ones.

A monument to Nazi victims.

A monument that is supposed to look like a bayonet and symbolize the 1941-45 war. Note the horse mounted figure of Andrei-the-Victorious. I am yet to find out why he killed that dragon.

The victory ark to commemorate Russia's missed chance to accept the rule of Napoleon thus joining the civilized world.
