Venue & Accommodation
Our venue for 2009 has yet to be confirmed so please make sure you visit this page again soon. In the meantime, here's an overview of the famous sights and attractions in Moscow.
| The Kremlin: Moscow's Kremlin stands high on the hill towering over the left bank of the Moscva River. It has always been perceived as as symbol of power and mighty of the Russian state, the national idea expressed in stone. Each era in the history of Russia left its significant architectural trace in the Kremlin. Late in the evening te brightly illuminated Kremlin is a striking sight. |  |
 | Arbat: in the 19th century Arbat was a favourite neighbourhood for Moscow's nobility and creative intelligentsia. Over the years the street has developed into one of the most popular places in Moscow with dancers, street artists, Krishna supporters, shops, cafés and cultural centres. |
| Gorky Park: Officially the 'Park of Culture', named after Maxim Gorky, this park is part ornamental and educational, part funfair and amusement park, and a good place to escape the hubbub of the city. In winter the ponds freeze and the paths are flooded to make a giant skating rink. |  |
 | Lenin's Tomb: Vladimir Ilich (Lenin), who died of a massive stroke on 22 January 1924 when he was 53 years old, was embalmed six months later, and has now become the world's most famous mummy. Visitors can go into his tomb which from 1953 to 1961, he shared with Stalin. |
| St Basil's Cathedral: The confusion of colours and shapes makes St Basil's Cathedral an iconic symbol of Russia. Created between 1555 and 1561, replacing an existing church on the site, its design is the culmination of a wholly Russian style that had been developed building wooden churches. |  |
