The Moscow Times is introducing the website www.rb.ru, a place for advice and exchange of impressions about restaurants and bars in Moscow.
Testimonials
"Fifteen years is a long time. In fifteen years you can build up an international property business. You can see Moscow turn itself into a global city. Political leaders can change, or not. In fifteen years everything from fashion to finance can change. Keeping track of all of this and reporting it in a fair and unbiased way has been the business of the Moscow Times’. I have been an avid reader of the publication from the very start. I am richer for its keen sense of politics and clever market insight and poorer for its rising cost. I extend my congratulations to the Moscow Times with their anniversary, and hope that many more years of success lay ahead."
