As the symbolic heart of Russia, Moscow, with its 870th anniversary in 2017, is the centre of politics & culture, & has enjoyed a renaissance as one of the world`s great cities. The capital`s streets now buzz 24-hours a day, & offer a wealth of historic sites, plush new hotels, internationally-stocked shops & thousands of eating establishments. Her sister-city, St Petersburg, host of Russia`s golden age & cradle of revolution, & surely Russia`s soul, was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great. One of the most graceful & well-proportioned cities in the world, filled with baroque & classical architecture, & known as the Venice of the North for its scenic canals, it is easy to see how St Petersburg became the inspiration for musicians, artists, poets & writers.

It provides a historical overview & is a guide to cultural sites of the two cities & the Golden Ring towns such as Yaroslavl, Vladimir, & Suzdal.

Venya is more interested in how much he & his colleagues can drink during the working day than in his job. Once he is fired, he spends the last of his money on booze & sets off on a train journey to visit beautiful, picturesque, utopian Petushki, where his beloved & child are waiting for him. But Venya`s drinking gets out of control on the train, & Petushki seems to lie increasingly beyond his grasp. Funny & sad, Yerofeev`s alcohol-soaked story of a man on a train perfectly captures Soviet society on the brink of doom: exhausted, corrupt & heading into the night in sodden dignity. ”A dark & hilarious work cocktailing the satire of Gogol with the gutter-level eye of Bukowski & the menace & nightmare vision of Genet.” (Time Out). Moscow Stations
