The Moscow Pass is part of a project by privately owned communications firm KremlinMultimedia to improve the image of the capital wildwood new jersey hotels and make it more convenient wildwood new jersey hotels for living and visiting by developing a brand called WowMoscow. Daniil Golovachyov, a client wildwood new jersey hotels manager wildwood new jersey hotels at Capital Tours, which organizes guided wildwood new jersey hotels tours around Moscow for foreigners told the newspaper that he price for the Moscow Pass is affordable for foreigners and it s lower than the overall cost of admission fees for the museums and tours included.

Moskovskiy Komsomolets does some math. Moscow authorities are spending an enormous wildwood new jersey hotels amount of funds trying to improve the traffic situation in the Russian capital. On Monday the Budget and Finance Commission of the City Duma has looked into the report filed by the Control and Audit Chamber of the city, which dealt with efficiency of funding the road renovation effort. Turns out that the city has lost 15 billion rubles in spending on design projects which were scrapped before leaving the drawing board. Moreover, it appears that this sinkhole is still open - the concept for development of "new Moscow" - territories recently officially absorbed by the city - includes construction wildwood new jersey hotels of a Federal Center. Since it appears the idea has become unpopular among the decision-makers, any money spent on designing this project will be eventually wasted. During the discussion, City Duma deputies also voiced their concerns wildwood new jersey hotels over effectiveness of mass transit policy - Muscovites are less than eager to use public transit despite the Transportation Department's best efforts simply because it's inconvenient. The general defense the Department used is: "it's a process, we're working on it".
Russian public officials have to make an example of supporting domestic producers - at least that's what State Duma deputies think. Izvestia quotes State Duma deputy wildwood new jersey hotels speaker from the United Russia faction wildwood new jersey hotels Sergei Zheleznyak: "We must make it so that the sheer possibility of buying an imported alternative to an existing Russian wildwood new jersey hotels product is unacceptable". How execatly the law would work to ensure that will be discussed mid-December during a conference involving various experts. Currently the general wildwood new jersey hotels idea is to not allow foreign producers to access government procurement auctions on the official web portal if they offer goods with existing Russian-made alternatives. He added that it's better to create a social stigma regarding buying foreign goods for official purposes, than to create legal barriers. This idea has been met with support from the Public Chamber. For instance, Chamber member Sergei Markov believes that laws are necessary - for example, to realize just how bad Russian cars and roads are. Besides, there's big money in government procurements and it would good if it was injected in the Russian economy. Others believe that it would be counter-productive - Russian producers would have no incentive to improve without competing with international companies. Another issue with legal encouragement of procuring domestic products is the WTO - the law may be interpreted as protectionist, which is frowned upon in the organization.
As the Latin saying goes, homo homini lupus est: man is a wolf to his fellow man. The situation wildwood new jersey hotels transpiring in winter Russia is a perfect example of that. Extreme snowfall effectively shut down a trans-national highway, creating a 200-kilometer traffic jam spanning across Tver and Novgorod regions for several days, which has just started to dissipate. Novye Izvestia reports on how people survived, trapped in their cars with no choice but to wait it out. With the majority of trapped drivers and passengers not having enough food and water to last them several days, they had to make use of the local amenities - and that's when opportunism got the best of regional entrepreneurs. Regional dining services have skyrocketed to several times regular prices, cigarettes were sold at about four times the state-imposed minimum. There were volunteers which tried to get to the stuck motorists, wildwood new jersey hotels but according to then their efforts were not appreciated by the local authorities - allegedly, their travels only exacerbated the already-terrible traffic situation. Although one person did admit that on Monday the governor has met with volunteers and apologized for his initial harsh stance.
