Field Guide to Moscow
The excellent alternative Russian Web Magazine The Exile Exile.ru published an illustrated guide to the type of people you might encounter on the streets of Moscow.
These range from impoverished starving soldiers, gangsters wives, art directors, rastas etc over 30 in all. Great descriptions and pictures. I like the Exile though it won’t suit everyone’s taste. The military writer Gary Brecher “War nerd” gives his insights into the best wars, soldiers etc and is not afraid to lavish praise or mock and if you are easily offended, you won’t like The Exile!
After many years publishing the exile was forced to cease by Putin’s administration. They upset too many high ups… The end result of the action forced the staff to relocate permanently out of Russia proper and establish themselves in Panama.
