I grew up on this street! Trees are much taller now, and instead of the movie theater there’s an art gallery.

It’s quite near to where I live now.
House in Sarov (Arzamas-16) where Sakharov and family lived in 1950—1968. Sarov is where I live as well. This morning a new monument to Sakharov was unveiled, I’ll try to see it later today.

Moscow, February 4, 1990. The most massive protest in the history of the Soviet Union. 300 thousand people marched from the Crimean Bridge along the Garden Ring and Gorky Street (now Tverskaya) to the 50th Anniversary of October Square (Manezhnaya). The main demand of the protesters was to abolish Article 6 of the USSR Constitution that declared the leading role of the Communist Party.
