Russian travel companies offer promenade with ghosts
9.08.2004 00:00

Moscow travel business is experiencing great changes. Instead of the Mausoleum Muscovites and guests of the capital are eager to take alternative tours, Ogonek magazine writes.
      
       It’s not an easy matter to get the ticket for the tour “Visiting Moscow ghosts”. Such tours are held once a week by few Moscow travel companies and the tickets are sold out at once. The price of the excursion in a red bus is around 300 rubles.
      
       The off-beat tour includes the following sights:
      
      - Puskin theater – “the most mystical theater”, haunted by the ghosts of stage director Alexander Tairov and actress Alise Koonen;

      - Patriarshie Prudy, served as setting for Bulgakov’s masterpiece “Master and Margaret”. The guide would recite some extracts from the most mystical novel;

      - St.-John the Baptist Monastery with its adjacencies that are said to have given birth to the phrase “hell and gone”;

      - Christ the Savior Temple;

      - Vorobyevy Hills.
