Russian:

Европейские узенькие улочки, на которых даже водители останавливаются, пропуская пешеходов; вполне пражская пивная с характерными факелами на чугунных столбиках, вычурные здания посольств экзотических стран, а рядом - такая вот старая советская почта с кошкой на крылечке...

English:

Strange city - Moscow. It is worthwhile to take a step only to the side from the central streets and here are - small uninhabited alleys, wooden one-storeyed houses, children on velikakh, hockey boxes, old tserkvushki. The European uzen'kiye by-streets, on which even drivers stop, letting pass pedestrians; completely Prague beer with the characteristic torches on the cast iron posts, fanciful Embassy premises of the exotic countries, and next - this here is old Soviet mail to the cat on the porch...
