A historical tourist park named Rubezh, or Frontier, may soon appear to the west of Moscow and will recreate and combine the atmospheres of America during the Gold Rush and a pre-revolutionary Russian county town, the Moskovsky Komsomolets reported.
The project, to be built in the town of Vereya, is expected to both raise interest in the Moscow region and revive the feeling of provincial towns, Andrey Maistrov, the project's creator, said last week.
The site will be divided into two thematic areas — the Russian country and the Wild West. The eras will be reproduced through architecture, traditional food and efforts to conjure up the spirit of the time.
Tourists will be offered entertainment such as nobility and merchant clubs, a club for harmful addictions control, the Society of Fine Arts and a club for aeronautics fans.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
