Tatyana Ustinova. My personal enemy (№ 234633)

... In Moscow it was not so, as the rest of the world... <...> Right, clean and shiny as greenhouse cucumber, European Moscow stunned from the first minute, dumped for his arrogance, rudeness and heavy, haunting the helpfulness of the taxi drivers at the airport who took "to the center" a hundred dollars. Then added to that were constantly hanging in the air, the stench of the car, and then taken rain, low grey skies, unfriendly faces of passers-by and continuous hysteria drivers in the vast, smelly, takes the whole soul "traffic jams".
The stone core of this city scared and fascinated at the same time. Nothing helped - no signs of the famous European boutiques, no gloss, induced in recent years, several major Central streets, or the ubiquitous "McDonald's", winking advertising Coca-Cola and TV "Samsung". Anyway, this huge, dismal, stupid built the city did not become a European capital. Tsar Peter had already died, the boyars properly learned to shave their beards, drink coffee, and even fell in love with European cars, which the people were called stupid by the word "car", and Europe continues to be defended from Moscow as far as the Great wall of China from JFK.
