Ex Oriente Lux

Just received a phone call from Fanny Stroh who coordinates a very interesting “Ex Oriente Lux” project (Germany), which offers “politically and historically oriented” tours around Russia.

Really have no idea how she found me, but that’s a huge flatter to my modest talents; and she made an offer I could not refuse. To invent and animate introductory Moscow tours with an accent on street/political activity in recent years.

I have been having  several tours of the kind in mind recently, even preliminarily sketching them, and even made a test walk measuring the time from Pushkinskaya to Bolotnaya (with several highlight stops).

Of course, I said a definite “yes”. If everything goes well, — no one ever knows anything in this country,– the first ones will introduce to 2011 Bolotnaya protests. It will be in a form of a walking tour with some introductory notes on how Moscow formed as a city and how it functions nowadays.

Wanna try what comes out of it. Excited.
