Everyone who comes to Moscow has his or her own prejudice about it: bears in hats drinking vodka from their samovars and Russian babushkas walking everywhere..
Here we'll present other frequent delusions of Moscow and will try to undeceive you))
1. Moscow is the most expensive city in the world.
Not true. At least some people say that in any European country one should spend not less than 5 $ (about 200 rub) to eat in McDonald's (maybe it's also a stereotype), however, in Russia dinner costs cheaper.
You should pay about 30 rub fare in any public transport in Moscow which is about 1 $. Whereas they say that in Europe is about 2,5 $.
However, salaries are not so high in Russia in comparison with salaries in Europe, that is why Moscow, with its expensive prices seems to be very expensive.
2. The Moscovites don't visit museums.
According to the recent survey about 1/3 of the residents of Moscow goes to various places of interests.
I suppose that it is characteristic of any capital. Residents of Moscow don't go to the Red Square very often, residents of London don't come to see the Trafalgar Square or Americans don't make plenty of photos of Statue of Liberty.
3. Moscow is the most polluted city of Russia.
Not yet... Russian scientists state that the most polluted cities are Magnitogorsk, Norilsk.
To be continued..
