Fire opposite Moscow Kremlin
On 17th of August 2007, when I was walking across the Bolshoi Kamenny Most (Big Stone Bridge) to meet my clients near the Armory Museum, I was able to watch a fire in one of the buildings opposite the Kremlin Cathedrals. The other side of the Moscow River, where the fire was burning, was cordoned off by police and surrounded by many fire trucks. Even one boat was called to resist and stop the fire in the old house which is currently under reconstruction.
The total area of the fire in the small 3 floor building, which is located at Sofiiskaya Embankment, 8, came to more than 250 square meters. The fire destroyed completely all wooden construction on two upper floors of the old building. Seven fire brigades and one boat were involved in the operation to stop the fire.
Now officials from fire prevention inspection are determining the cause of the fire and investigating the company which was reconstructing the house.

Arthur was so awesome! We spent 3 days in Moscow (the greatest city in the world!) with Arthur, and had the absolute best time!
We went on a Night Tour (and as a BIG BONUS got to celebrate Russia's football victory over Holland with the entire city), as well as a souvenir shopping excursion and a day trip to Sergiev Posad. Throughout it all, not only was Arthur punctual, reliable, and conscientious, he was SO much fun! He was positive and energetic, and absolutely sincere in sharing his knowledge and love for his beautiful city, not to mention being quite an impressive driver in Moscow's crazy streets.
AND - not only was he an outstanding guide and driver, he is the most amazing photographer! It was so nice to have someone to take our picture by all of these beautiful places, a service that you certainly won't get from anyone else!
I did tons of research before this trip, and had checked several other websites, but kept coming back to Arthur's website, pouring over his beautiful pictures, and reading all of the other client reviews, After using his services, I can say that I absolutely and wholeheartedly agree with all the other great reviews, and would highly recommend him to everyone. I can't wait to return to Moscow and see him again! Arthur was an absolute joy and delight, and helped make our trip an amazing trip of a lifetime!
