Walking Tour: Kitai Gorod

Kitai Gorod, with its twisting and winding streets, is the oldest section of Moscow outside the Kremlin. The literal translation of Kitai Gorod is "Chinatown," but there has never been a Chinese settlement here. The origin of the word kitai is disputed; it may come from the Tatar word for fortress, but most likely it derives from the Russian word kita, in reference to the bundles of twigs that were used to reinforce the earthen wall that once surrounded the area.

Kitai Gorod begins where Red Square ends. Settlement of this area began in the 12th century, around the time that the fortified city of Moscow was founded on Borovitsky Hill (the site of the present-day Kremlin). By the 14th century Kitai Gorod was a thriving trade district, full of shops and markets. At that time it was surrounded by earthen ramparts, which were replaced in the 16th century by a fortified wall, remnants of which still remain. As Moscow grew, so did Kitai Gorod.

At the time of the Bolshevik Revolution it was the city's most important financial and commercial district, with major banks, warehouses, and trading companies concentrated here. These days the multitude of shops, restaurants, and banks demonstrates the area's reasserted role as an energized commercial center.

A good starting point for your tour is Nikolskaya ulitsa, which begins at the corner opposite the Historical Museum and runs along the north side of GUM. If you are coming from St. Basil's, walk away from St. Basil's toward the Historical Museum alongside GUM. If you are coming from outside of Red Square, get to Nikolskaya by way of Teatralnaya Ploshchad (Theater Square). If you are standing with your back to the Bolshoi on this square, walk straight ahead, cross the street, and enter one of the narrow passageways to the right or left of the Teatralnaya metro station (as you are facing it). Taking a right out of either passageway will bring you to Nikolskaya ulitsa. Go a short way farther to the right, to the cobblestone edge of Red Square, to begin your walk.

Nikolskaya ulitsa, which is named after the Kremlin's Nikolskaya Gate Tower, is one of the oldest streets in Moscow. At the corner with Red Square is the Kazansky Sobor . Leaving the church, take a left to make your way through the teeming crowds of shoppers on Nikolskaya ulitsa to No. 7, the Zaikonospassky Monastyr , the former Slavonic-Greco-Latin Academy now undergoing a slow restoration. Farther down the street, also on the left-hand side, is a once brightly painted white-and-aqua building with an elaborate facade (No. 15). The building was erected in 1810-14 on the site of the 16th-century Pechatny Dvor (Printing Yard), where Russia's first printed book was assembled in 1553. Today the building houses the Moscow Institute of Historical Records and the Moscow Humanitarian University. Cross the street to go down Bogoyavlensky pereulok. Halfway down the block, opposite the entrance to the Ploshchad Revolutsii metro, is the Bogoyavlensky Sobor . Continue down the street to where it intersects with ulitsa Ilinka. Before the 1917 revolution this was Moscow's Wall Street, and it is still lined with the impressive facades of former banks.

On the left-hand corner stands the former Ryabushinsky Bank . As you cross the street, look to your right; ulitsa Ilinka leads directly to the Kremlin's Tower of the Savior. At No. 3 stands the Tserkov Svyatoi Ilii church from which the street takes its name. The church, which dates to 1520, is in disrepair except for its facade. Opposite the church is one of the border streets of the Gostinny Dvor merchant's arcade. Turn left and walk the length of Khrustalny pereulok to reach one of the oldest streets in Moscow, Varvarka ulitsa. The opposite side of the street is lined with quaint old churches and buildings, but the first thing you'll likely notice is the gray bulk of the massive, concrete-and-glass Rossiya, one of Europe's largest and most unattractive hotels.

At the farthest corner of the street, to your right, is the Tserkov Velikomuchenitsy Varvary . Adjacent is the English Court . Next comes the white-stone Tserkov Maksima Blazhennovo . The pointed bell tower situated just before the semicircle sidewalk leading to the upper-level entrance of the Rossiya hotel was once attached to the redbrick Znamensky Sobor on the other side of the sidewalk; with its foundation on the slope below, it is set back from the street. At No. 10 is the Palaty Romanovych v Zaryadye , believed to be the birthplace of Tsar Mikhail Romanov. Before leaving Varvarka ulitsa take note of the last church, the blue Tserkov Georgiya na Pskovskoy Gorke at No. 12.

If you stand to the left of the church (on the walkway leading to the Rossiya hotel) you can glimpse a remnant of Kitai Gorod's 16th-century brick fortification wall. It is to your left, opposite the hotel's eastern facade. Cross to the other side of Varvarka ulitsa and walk a short hop past the final church. Make a right and climb up the narrow Ipatevsky pereulok, which leads to several government and administrative buildings. At the top of the incline to the right is one of Moscow's best-preserved 17th-century churches, the Tserkov Troitsy v Nikitnikach .

Continue down the lane to the right of the church to reach Novaya Ploshchad, or New Square, which is more like a boulevard than a square. To your right, at the far bottom of the hill, Slavyanskaya Ploshchad opens up. At the bottom of the hill is the redbrick Tserkov Vsekh Svyatykh na Kulishkakh . From Novaya Ploshchad stroll for a long block or two past the government buildings, where the Central Committee of the Communist Party once sat. Now these buildings house the Duma of the Moscow Region. Soon you will come to the beginning of a busy intersection. To your right, in the median strip that divides Novaya Ploshchad, is a park that holds the Plevna Memorial, an octagonal, towerlike monument commemorating the Russian soldiers who fell in the Battle of Plevna in the Russo-Turkish War (1878). Keep walking up the street on the left side to go to the Muzey Istorii Goroda Moskvy , a small museum on Moscow's history.

Note the building on the opposite side of the street that takes up the entire block. This is the Politekhnichesky Muzey , a museum of science and technology. Directly north of this museum is yet another museum, Muzey Mayakovskovo , which includes a re-creation of the study of the great revolutionary poet. A short distance from here, Novaya Ploshchad intersects with the circular Lubyanskaya Ploshchad , where you can behold the Lubyanka Prison and the former KGB headquarters, which now house the FSB -- the New Russia's federal security service. On the west side of the square is Detsky Mir, a large department store that used to specialize in toys but now carries all sorts of items.

Walk past Lubyanskaya Ploshchad to the west side, down to where it converges with the broad street of Teatralny proyezd, Moscow's most elite shopping street. On a side street to your right stands the ornate and luxurious Savoy hotel (3 Rozhdestvenka ulitsa), which, like the nearby Metropol hotel, was built in connection with the celebrations in the early 20th century honoring 300 years of the Romanov dynasty. On the left-hand side of the street you will pass a statue of Ivan Fyodorov, the printer who produced Russia's first book at the old Printing Yard on Nikolskaya ulitsa. The arched gateway just to the right of the statue links Teatralny proyezd with Nikolskaya ulitsa, the street on which you started the tour. Teatralny proyezd leads into Teatralnaya Ploshchad, site of three of Moscow's most important theaters.

Taking up the block on the southeast corner, the first building you will encounter to your left as you approach Teatralnaya Ploshchad is the Metropol , an art nouveau hotel. Reaching the square, you will see at the center a large monument to Karl Marx, carved on the spot from a 200-ton block of granite and unveiled in 1961. Across the boulevard stands the Bolshoi Theater , flanked on the left, on the corner farthest away from you, by the Central Children's Theater, and, to the right, by the Maly Theater . Turn left at the corner of the Metropol, and walk by the park and the hotel's main entrance. The large redbrick wall ahead is the other surviving remnant of the 16th-century fortification wall that once surrounded Kitai Gorod.

The wall has been heavily rebuilt, and a new tower has been added. Inside the tower are a couple of restaurants and bars. When you reach the Teatralnaya/Ploshchad Revolutsii metro station, take a moment to admire the exterior of the massive redbrick building on the corner -- the Muzey V. I. Lenina . If you still have some time but not much energy, consider hopping on Trolleybus 2, which can be caught at the bus stop opposite the Bolshoi Theater. The trolley ride takes about 45 minutes and makes a loop passing by Lubyanskaya Ploshchad, Ploshchad Pobedi (Victory Square -- note the obelisk topped by an angel), the Borodino Battle Panorama (in a circular blue pavilion), Kievsky vokzal (train station), the Novy Arbat, and Alexander Garden, before returning to Teatralnaya Ploshchad. You can purchase a ticket for 10R from the driver. Try to have exact change. Make sure to punch the ticket on board the bus.

Taken at a leisurely pace, with stops at least to glance at the interiors of the many churches along the route, this walk should take about five hours. If you intend to take a quick look at the exhibits in the museums along the way, you'll need an entire day. Both the Politekhnichesky Muzey and the Muzey Istorii Goroda Moskvy are worth coming back to for a more leisurely look at their holdings.

Divers Find Remains of Finnish WWII Plane That Was Shot Down by Moscow with a US Diplomat Aboard

HELSINKI (AP) — The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later.

The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.

A diving and salvage team in Estonia said this week that it had located well-preserved parts and debris from the Junkers Ju 52 plane operated by Finnish airline Aero, which is now Finnair. It was found off the tiny island of Keri near Estonia's capital, Tallinn, at a depth of around 70 meters (230 feet).

“Basically, we started from scratch. We took a whole different approach to the search,” Kaido Peremees, spokesman for the Estonian diving and underwater survey company Tuukritoode OU, explained the group’s success in finding the plane’s remains.

The downing of the civilian plane, named Kaleva, en route from Tallinn to Helsinki happened on June 14, 1940 — just three months after Finland had signed a peace treaty with Moscow following the 1939-40 Winter War.

The news about the fate of the plane was met with disbelief and anger by authorities in Helsinki who were informed that it was shot down by two Soviet DB-3 bombers 10 minutes after taking off from Tallinn’s Ulemiste airport.

“It was unique that a passenger plane was shot down during peacetime on a normal scheduled flight,” said Finnish aviation historian Carl-Fredrik Geust, who has investigated Kaleva’s case since the 1980s.

Finland officially kept silent for years about the details of the aircraft’s destruction, saying publicly only that a “mysterious crash” had taken place over the Baltic Sea, because it didn’t want to provoke Moscow.

Though well documented by books, research and television documentaries, the 84-year-old mystery has intrigued Finns. The case is an essential part of the Nordic country’s complex World War II history and sheds light into its troubled ties with Moscow.

But perhaps more importantly, the downing of the plane happened at a critical time just days before Josef Stalin's Soviet Union was preparing to annex the three Baltic states, sealing the fate of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for the next half-century before they eventually regained independence in 1991.

Moscow occupied Estonia on June 17, 1940 and Kaleva’s doomed journey was the last flight out of Tallinn, though Soviets had already started enforcing a tight transport embargo around the Estonian capital.

American diplomat Henry W. Antheil Jr., who is now considered one of the first U.S. casualties of World War II, was aboard the plane when it went down.

The 27-year-old Antheil, the younger brother of the acclaimed composer and pianist George Antheil, was on a rushed government mission evacuating sensitive diplomatic pouches from U.S. missions in Tallinn and Riga, Latvia, as it had become clear that Moscow was preparing to swallow up the small Baltic nations.

An Associated Press wire item dated June 15, 1940 noted that “Henry W. Antheil Jr. of Trenton, N. J., attached to the United States Legation in Helsinki, was killed in the mysterious explosion of a Finnish airliner yesterday.” In the U.S. media, Antheil's death was overshadowed by much bigger news from Europe at the time: the Nazi occupation of Paris.

The U.S. Embassy in Tallinn has thoroughly documented and researched the case over the years.

Embassy spokesman Mike Snyder told the AP that “news of the possible location of the wreck of the Kaleva passenger plane is of great interest to the United States, especially since one of the first U.S. casualties of the Second World War, Diplomat Henry Antheil, occurred as a result of the plane being downed.”

Earlier this month, the U.S. ambassador in Estonia, George P. Kent, shared a post on X that included photos of Antheil, Kaleva and a memorial plaque by the American Foreign Service Association in Washington with Antheil’s name engraved in it.

Kaleva was carrying 227 kilograms (500 pounds) of diplomatic post, including Antheil’s pouches and material from two French diplomatic couriers — identified as Paul Longuet and Frederic Marty.

Estonian fishermen and the lighthouse operator on Keri told Finnish media decades after the downing of the plane that a Soviet submarine surfaced close to Kaleva's crash site and retrieved floating debris, including document pouches, that had been collected by fishermen from the site.

This has led to conspiracy theories regarding the contents of the pouches and Moscow's decision to shoot down the plane. It still remains unclear why precisely the Soviet Union decided to down a civilian Finnish passenger plane during peacetime.

“Lots of speculation on the plane’s cargo has been heard over the years,” Geust said. “What was the plane transporting? Many suggest Moscow wanted to prevent sensitive material and documents from exiting Estonia.”

But he said that it could have simply been “a mistake” by the Soviet bomber pilots.

Various attempts to find Kaleva have been recorded since Estonia regained independence more than three decades ago. However, none of them have been successful.

Not even the U.S. Navy’s oceanographic survey vessel Pathfinder could locate remains of the plane in a 2008 search around the Keri island in a venture commissioned by the Estonian government from the Pentagon.

“The wreckage is in pieces and the seabed is quite challenging with rock formations, valleys and hills. It’s very easy to miss” small parts and debris from the aircraft, Peremees said. “Techniques have, of course, evolved a lot over the time. As always, you can have good technology but be out of luck.”

New video taken by underwater robots from Peremees’ company show clear images of the three-engine Junkers’ landing gear, one of the motors and parts of the wings.

Peremees and his group are “absolutely” convinced the parts belong to Kaleva because of the distinctive and recognizable design of the German-made Junkers Ju 52, one of the most popular European passenger and wartime transport planes in the 1930s and early 1940s.

The plane was operated by the predecessor of the Finnish national airline Finnair.

Jaakko Schildt, chief operations officer of Finnair, described Kaleva’s downing as “a tragic and profoundly sad event for the young airline” that Finnair, then named Aero, was in 1940.

“Finding the wreckage of Kaleva in a way brings closure to this, even though it does not bring back the lives of our customers and crew that were lost,” Schildt said. “The interest towards locating Kaleva in the Baltic Sea speaks of the importance this tragic event has in the aviation history of our region.”

Peremees said his company would now focus on creating 3D images of Kaleva’s debris and discuss with Estonian authorities about the possibility of raising some of the items and, if found, the plane’s cargo and human remains.

Snyder from the U.S. Embassy in Tallinn said that Washington is closely monitoring the diving group’s efforts.

“We are following the investigation of the site and will be happy to discuss with our Finnish and Estonian (NATO) allies any developments resulting from recovery efforts,” Snyder said.

A stone memorial set up in the early 1990s to the victims of the Kaleva crash is located on Keri, and Helsinki’s old preserved Malmi airport terminal building, where Kaleva was supposed to arrive, has a memorial plaque set up in 2020 with the names of the victims.

Ukrainian drone attack causes fire at Russian oil terminal

A Ukrainian drone strike caused a large fire in a fuel tank at an oil terminal in Russia's southern port of Azov on Tuesday, according to Russian officials and a Ukrainian intelligence source.

Ukraine war latest: Russian town hit in new wave of strikes - as Kremlin responds to NATO chief's nuclear comments

The Russian region of Rostov is hit in a second consecutive day of attacks. It comes as Kremlin figures respond to NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg's remarks on the alliance's nuclear preparedness - and with Vladimir Putin in North Korea today on a two-day summit.

Ukrainians will be guaranteed to have power restriction schedules for two winters according to the director of the Energy Research Centre in Ukraine.

Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy sector have intensified since March, resulting in blackouts in many regions as half of the country's power generating capacity has been knocked out.

Oleksandr Kharchenko says restrictions would not be necessary if the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was back in Ukraine's hands.

The giant Russian-held nuclear plant is on the frontline of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and stopped generating power in 2022.

Both countries have accused each other of shelling the plant and risking a serious nuclear accident.

"The state of Ukraine's energy system currently stands at three working maximum capacity points out of 12," Mr Kharchenko told Ukrainian TV channel Kyiv24.

"If we could somehow get back to managing the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and put at least two to three units into operation, it would be a huge factor that would change the situation in the energy system. 

"Restrictions would be practically unnecessary or would be needed very rarely."

 Russia's Pacific Fleet will hold exercises between 18-28 June in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan an the Sea of Okhotsk, the Tass state news agency has said.

The report says the exercises will include approximately 40 ships and vessels. Some 20 naval aircraft and helicopters, including anti-submarine and search and recue helicopters, will also be in the manoeuvres.

Yesterday, Russian navy vessels left Cuba after arriving in the Havana harbour in a move seen by many as a Russian show of force.

A Russian military court has sentenced a Ukrainian woman to 12 years in prison for "spreading disinformation" and "taking part in a terrorist organisation," according to independent Russian media outlet Mediazona

Krystyna Liubashenko says she was tricked and blackmailed into coming to Moscow and carrying out the protest, which included playing a recording of an anti-war speech and a Ukrainian anthem and launching balloons with a Russian opposition flag.

Facing financial difficulties after fleeing Kyiv and moving to Switzerland following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Ms Liubashenko reportedly met a neighbour who lent her money to go to Moscow and hold an anti-war protest.

The neighbour, identified in the report as Vitalii Yurchenko, is later said to have insisted that Ms Liubashenko fly the white-blue-white flag associated with the Freedom of Russia Legion group that opposes the Kremlin.

The legion was declared a terrorist group by Russia last March.

Ms Liubashenko initially refused the demands but was convinced when Mr Yurchenko reportedly threatened to report her to Swiss authorities, who would take her two daughters away.

At her trial in Russia, Ms Liubashenko's defence presented this as evidence of blackmail, though she was still sentenced to 12 years.

It is believed that Russia has detained more than 7,000 Ukrainian civilians since the start of its invasion.

An overnight attack on two oil depots in Russia's Rostov region was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), according to reports.

Russian authorities reported fires spread across 5,000 cubic metres in the town of Azov, with dozens of firefighters trying to tackle the blaze (see 08:30 post).

As we reported here earlier, it was the second wave of attack on the Russian border region in the last two days.

According to the Kyiv Independent, the SBU's drone attack successfully targeted 22 oil storage tanks.

"The SBU will continue to implement 'drone sanctions' against the Russian oil refining complex and reduce the economic potential of the enemy, which provides the aggressor with resources for waging war against Ukraine," the source added.

Ukrainian president Volodymr Zelenskyy says the communique signed by more than 80 nations at last weekend's Swiss peace summit is still open for more to join.

The document, issued at the end of a Ukraine-led peace conference in Burgenstock, supported Ukraine's territorial integrity in the face of Russia's invasion.

About 100 countries took part in the conference, but Russia was not invited and China snubbed the event. Attenders were mostly from Europe, the US and other western allies, but included countries from Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Some key regional powers were among those not to sign the communique, including Brazil, India, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.

Addressing this at the end of the summit, Mr Zelenskyy said that "unfortunately, there are people who are still balancing."

Today he announced that the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople - one of the churches that helps make up the Eastern Orthodox Church - had signed the communique.

Mr Zelenskyy added that the document would remain open for signatures and that he was "confident that more countries and international organisations will join."

The streets of Pyongyang have been lined with images and flags of  Vladimir Putin.

The Russian president is due to touch down on North Korean soil for the first time in 24 years today where he will meet with the country's leader Kim Jong Un.

And the red carpet is being rolled out already for the visit of Mr Putin, with state television broadcaster KCTV showing concerts of Russian military while the streets have been lined with Russian flags and images of the president. 

Anton Gerashchenko, former Ukranian advisor to the internal affairs minister, shared footage on X of Pyongyang's Russian-themed welcome.

Mr Putin and his entourage - set to include Russia's defence and security ministers - are expected to arrive in North Korea this evening local time.

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in the remote Siberian city of Yakutsk today ahead of his visit to North Korea. 

The Russian leader is heading to Pyongyang to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. 

Mr Putin will meet regional governor Aisen Nikolayev in Yakutsk before travelling to North Korea later today.

The world coverage chief of the Wall Street Journal says he is hopeful that the imprisonment of American journalist Evan Gershkovich in Russia will end soon. 

Mr Gershkovich is due to stand trial on espionage charges in Russia where he is accused of "gathering secret information" for the CIA.  

Russian prosecutors said Mr Gershkovich was caught "red-handed", with the FSB state spy service claiming that he was trying to obtain military secrets. 

He denies the allegations but, if found guilty, could face up to 20 years in prison. 

Since his arrest, Mr Gershkovich has been held at Moscow's Lefortovo Prison - a notorious jail used during Joseph Stalin's purges, when executions were carried out in the basement. 

The trial will take place 900 miles from Moscow, behind closed doors in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg, where Mr Gershkovich was first detained.   

"I think that having a journalist taken prisoner, which hasn't happened since the Cold War in Russia, sort of transcends the [Ukraine] war and is kind of fundamental attack on the freedom of the press which really underpins all of our free societies," Mr Gershkovich's colleague, Gordon Fairclough, told Sky News today. 

"It's sadly not surprising, but it is incredibly disheartening to see a colleague falsely accused, and effectively being held hostage to geopolitics.

"I got a letter from him a couple of weeks ago. He's quite a resilient guy and seems to be keeping his spirits up and his sense of humour is intact." 

US President Joe Biden called Russia's actions "totally illegal," while US state department spokesman Matthew Miller previously said there was "absolutely zero credibility" to the charges against Mr Gershkovich. 

There is now a growing expectation that the situation could be resolved through a prisoner swap between the US and Russia. 

Mr Fairclough added: "We expect the way this to be resolved and the way Russian officials have signalled this would be resolved would be through some kind of prisoner swap with the US government.  

"We know that talks are ongoing between the US and Russia on this subject."

Several dozen firefighters have been tackling a fire in the Russian town of Azov today following a drone strike, officials said.

Several oil storage tanks were set ablaze by the attack early this morning in Russia's southern region of Rostov, which borders Ukraine.

Russia's ministry of emergency situations said on Telegram that the fire had spread across 5,000 cubic metres.

Vasily Golubev, governor of the Rostov region, wrote on Telegram that there were no casualties according to preliminary data.

These reports are yet to be verified.

If confirmed, it would be the second consecutive day of strikes on the region, after a suspected Ukrainian attack triggered a large explosion at an electricity substation overnight into Monday.

The report of comments from NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg yesterday have been the source of some discussion among nuclear and diplomatic analysts.

Mr Stoltenberg told The Telegraph that NATO members were consulting about deploying more nuclear weapons and placing them on standby in the face of a growing threat from Russia and China.

And while some figures in Moscow sought to downplay the significance of the remarks, Kremlin spokesperson Dimitry Peskov was more condemnatory in his response.

"This is nothing but another escalation of tension," he said, adding that the comments appeared to contradict the communique issued over the weekend at the peace summit in Switzerland.

The talks were held at the behest of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with Russia not invited to attend.

The communique, signed by more than 80 countries, said any threat or use of nuclear weapons in the Ukraine context was inadmissible.

Mr Stoltenberg later said Russia was trying to create confusion and that his comments referred to the modernisation of NATO's nuclear deterrent, including the replacement of F-16 jets with F-35s.

NATO spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah said: "We have an ongoing modernisation programme to replace legacy weapons and aircraft. Beyond that, there are no significant changes to our nuclear deterrent."
