20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Parking near VDNKh, Moscow

When I was little, all the useless bomb shelters of the city, the stadiums where no one competed, the cinemas where films were not brought, everything began to turn into markets, warehouses, car washes and video salons. Wild business came to the USSR and business needed a place. Now films are again shown in our cinemas, matches are held in stadiums, new beautiful buildings for trade and service have been built. I don't want to believe it, but it looks like we're going to need bomb shelters soon. The photo shows a landscape, as in my childhood, when all of Moscow earned money and did not pay attention to its sights.
