Dimitry showing me the secret passages in the neighbourhood where he lived most of his life.	An arts cafe, of which there are dozens along Maroseyka and adjacent screets.

	Vegetarian propaganda. The sign says "Blood is no water, can wash it off [your] hands". Yes, a vegetarian cafe is within easy walking distance. See my Vegetarian Russia page for related information.	A memorial tablet to the victims of Stalin's purges and the war dead.

Interested in renting this "decently substandard with no roaches" room for $15/night? You may try calling Kamilla at +7-495-625-6318 but you'll need to be real slow and distinct. Her son Dimitry speaks English well. He can be reached at +7-926-815-0081. If there is no rush, write him to dsharvin@gmail.com. E-mail is checked daily an he made a solemn promise to me to respond right away.
