On a naked street with an escort
The passage of the cortege through the empty streets is just a beautiful spatial image. Even, I would say, artistic. Bravo, maestro There are all sorts of mocking comments: what, they say, V.V. Putin drove into the Kremlin even more beautiful than N.K. Bonaparte. That allegedly in 1812 on the route there were separate stray dogs and cats that had lagged behind the convoy. But in 2012, the path was clear, like Zeiss glass: no mote, no shadow. I think mockery is inappropriate here.
