To say:”I don’t love Moscow,” it means nothing to say. I hate and despise this city. The city of corruption and debauchery, the city of dashed hopes and ruined lives. It is the city- smog, the city- traffic jam, the city-falseness of illusions. When I arrived in Moscow, I was a naive young woman. I thought that need to have a talent that to make career of an artist there. I made a mistake. If you have the great talent it will mean nothing here.

Pushkin , in the family of a provincial doctor an...
