Illustration: Boris Verlof The plane (charters fly to Tivat from Domodedovo) was delayed for three and a half hours. A reverent representative of the travel agency, who stood with us at “registration” until the victory, assured that this was “the first time in all the years that the Sibir has been flying.” Regular passengers kindly reported that, in general, he was not the first. However, before the blockiness of the idea itself - a villa! Adriatic! ripe figs fall on the carpet of roses!

Illustration: Matthew Hollister An everyday matter: some time ago, at the mouth of Tverskaya, the morally dilapidated Gifts store closed, and now we know what will replace it. Far, far away, beyond the Kremlin stars, the huge letters “Zara” painted on billboards shine (in a figurative sense) on almost all of humanity. By the way, you should apologize to the reader and make an amendment to one of the previous publications. The word "repair" no longer exists.

Photo: Olga Khabarova A car is not a means of transportation. Today, a car is more like a driveway than it used to be. They climb into the car to warm up, kiss and copulate in the car, get into the car by accident and then try not to pay attention to the one-time travel companion. They often meet in the car. Sometimes they kill in it. A young woman named Alexandra Ivannikova invites me to talk in the car.

Illustration: Varvara Polyakova Something is happening with the money. It is impossible not to notice this. The exchange rate changes several times a day. The dollar is rising, the euro is falling. This is partly explained by the increase in the refinancing rate, which was recently announced by the head of the US Federal Reserve System, Alan Greenspan.

Photo: Alena Astashkina The owners of the summer branch of “Bed Cafe” (it’s called “Samsa”) were lucky with the location: they staked out a plot in Krasnopresnensky Park. These are several hectares of deserted alleys, ditches, ducks and nostalgic carousels, the existence of which, except for diligent local historians and employees of the World Trade Center, few people remember. You get there from Mantulinskaya Street: the main entrance is identified by the “Santa Fe” sign.

Somewhere at the 37th kilometer, an interesting view of the Kola Bay and Murmansk, nestled on its coast, will open up.

Eduard Belyaev - Well, you actually came up with, I must say, an Orthodox channel... — You know, once upon a time I took Menshova, the Special Special Special Forces, Petya Fadeev, and all the presenters, in general, to TV-6, just to introduce them to Bishop Kirill. And there was a conversation, there were questions.

Illustration: Holly Stevenson Whoever becomes the new editor-in-chief of Kommersant, he will inherit a whole heap of wonderful stories and legends. Managing such a household was within the power of the myth-draining Ksenia Ponomareva, the artistic Andrei Vasiliev, and Raf Shakirov, at the very least, managed.

On May twenty-fifth, the lights went out in the Moscow region. The next day, the country learned that a million chickens had died in poultry farms in the Moscow region. The figure, of course, turned out to be exaggerated and hysterical, but curiosity had already been aroused. Even if not a million, even five hundred thousand, it was impossible to explain the incident from the point of view of urban, neophyte logic.

KunstGroup Pictures - Coltsfoot, mint, linden, oregano, cornflower, knotweed, wild rosemary, hawthorn, dandelion, plantain, motherwort, sage, string! - Director of SPA Palestra Evgenia Linovich lists with feeling the herbs that have a beneficial effect on the body exhausted by the city heat in June. “We found hereditary herbalists, they explained to us when which herbs should be collected and when it is best to use them.

Photo: Tanya Mark Nothing better than a boat trip for summer has yet been invented. More than fifty ships sail around Moscow - from the well-known river buses to “rocket boats”, night barges with DJs and club audiences, and ships on which live bands like Blast play. But instead of sailing along long-studied and boring routes, you can create your own. To do this, you need to get to the Maryinsky pier, from where antique river trams run.

Photo: Yulia Chernova It's just some kind of trouble. Just a couple of years ago, earrings made of fake gold and brooches made of multi-colored glass caused laughter and that’s all, but now there is a real hunt for them. They are no longer called tasteless spillikins, but vintage jewelry and participate in the shows of Ralph Lauren, Vivienne Westwood and Denis Simachev.

Illustration: Timofey Yarzhombek. KunstGroup Pictures — Exploder is an interesting name, aren’t people confusing you with terrorists? - Yes, that's the name. In public places, even in conversations among ourselves, we try not to use this word. Now all the posters and TV screens are calling: “Hand over the terrorist - save the city.” As soon as possible, all police departments will be aware of your special features.
