Ulitsa Varvarka

Ulitsa Varvarka is one of the most interesting little streets in the heart of Moscow. To appreciate how much so, you probably have to have seen it when the Hotel Rossiya towered over it. It is the subject of the last of my freelance pieces from Russia, which appeared in the Boston Globe's Travel section on Sunday. Click here.

Below, the Old English Embassy, in front of the vast construction yard that was the Hotel Rossiya).
