"One who has visited Moscow, knows Russia", wrote the great Russian historian Nikolai Karamzin. Since time immemorial Russian people perceived golden-domed Moscow as the heart of Russia, the essence of the Russian spirit and the symbol of the Russian statehood. Visitors to Moscow see it as a large-scale melting-pot, the meeting place of the great cultures of the West and the East.
