Thirty years ago Arbat was the most Moscow street. His singer was Okudzhava. He was mentioned in his works by poets and writers. But in 1986 it became a pedestrian zone and in the process of restructuring it completely lost its face and charm. At present, some Gazgoldernaya street will tell much more about Moscow and Muscovites than the "lighted" Arbat.
Nevertheless, if you are going to visit this attraction, then, among the attractions that you can learn about from the Internet, some of them should be specially noted.
-1- Department store "Smolensky". on the corner of the Arbat and the Garden Ring. In the twenties, one of the first shops of Torgsin. Behemoth and Koroviev were outrageous there.
-2- Monument to B. Sh. Okudzhava. He is real. Arbatsky.
-3- Wall of Tsoi. Everything is fair here.
There are many other interesting things there. And in the house N9 there is a cultural center of Ukraine and a Ukrainian book store.
The most vile thing on the Arbat is the people. I don't mean tourists.
We are talking about those who serve these tourists. Surprisingly, the criminally roguish darling from the nineties has been preserved on the Arbat. Do not try to buy art on the Arbat. It will all be the most severe kitsch. The artists themselves, who paint pictures for the Arbat in a conveyor way, contemptuously call their plots "Night", "Winter" and "Nezhnyak". (Landscapes and nudity). If you want to take a real painting away from Moscow, then go to the Gelos auction, where you can buy a good-quality painting from the Vladimir school from the fifties and sixties for much less money. And, if you're lucky, the author will be the Czech Union of Artists of the USSR ..
And more useful information. If you turn onto Krivoarbatsky lane, then firstly you will see the most interesting, from the point of view of architecture, Melnikov's house, and secondly you will get to the lane. Sivtsev Vrazhek. There, in house 2628, there is a polyclinic N1 of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation.
By concluding a commercial contract, you can be examined on first-class equipment and get an appointment with a medical luminary. Since this polyclinic does not have the opportunity to actively advertise itself, the prices there are often several times lower than for similar services in private medical centers.
In general, if you get to the Arbat, do not perceive it as part of Moscow. Treat it as something self-sufficient and having nothing to do with Moscow.
