In an earlier post (driving in moscow) I had mistakenly indicated there were no landscaped medians here in the Moscow streets, saying they instead featured those reversible suicide lanes for the FSB/Police/Government officials to bypass traffic on. While this is true for most of the streets, further exploration of the City has revealed that certain major boulvards do indeed have landscaped medians. And those that have them, have seriously beautiful ones. Think extremely grand, park like. Statues, walking trails. Triumphant. In the case of these photos, the Triumphal Arch right smack in the middle of Kutuzovskiy prospekt (a major arterial heading into the city center and connecting to Anastasiya's house). This median is nearly wider than the road itself, and the glorious victory arch was erected in 1827 in celebration of the victory over Napoleon in 1812. Truly grand.
