The city of Moscow is rich in history, art, architecture, and human experience. Muscovites have seen the fall of Napoleon, the rise and fall of the Tsars, the rise and fall of Communism, and now the rise of Democracy. (These experiences have made them a thirsty lot, at least judging by this web site. )

The attached set of placemarks is meant as a guide to major points of tourist interest in the area that are also within the high-resolution inset.

P.S. If it is ever my good fortune to take my camera to Moscow, I will revisit this post to illustrate these placemarks.
