The stage for the fall of a world empire & the rebirth of a globally connected Russia, Moscow has transformed from a monochrome capital city to a new Babylon iridescent with neon lights. Karl Schlogel`s ” Moscow” offers a fascinating & engaging portrait of this international metropolis in transformation.
