Richard Johnson could stay in Moscow for only two days. He came back, I asked him about his impressions.
He told me he took the Red Arrow from Petersburg's to Moscow and arrived in Moscow in the morning. He slept well on the train. He took the metro to the center of the city. Then he walked to the American Embassy. It took him twenty minutes to get there, stayed in his friend's apartment.
In his free time he saw some of the sights of the capital, took a guided tour of Moscow. He liked the old part оf the city very much. The new housing developments didn't impress him at all. He thought (that) they were too uniform.
The next day his friend showed him the Kremlin. They started on Red Square. Richard looked at St. Basil's Cathedral. He saw the monument to Minin and Pozharski. Then his friend took him inside the Kremlin. Richard liked the old churches there. Some of them are more than 500 (five hundred) years old!
Some people like Moscow very much. But Richard liked Petersburg better than Moscow. At least that's what he said.
