About Moscow River

The Moskva is a river that flows through Western Russia. It rises about 140 kilometers (87 mi) west of Moscow and flows roughly east through the Smolensk and Moscow Oblasts, passing through central Moscow. About 110 kilometers (68 mi) southeast of Moscow, at the city of Kolomna, it flows into the Oka, itself a tributary of the Volga, which ultimately flows into the Caspian Sea.

Every winter, if you go to the Moscow River, you'll just see loads of little tents and basically it's just like men in their little tent doing fishing with a bottle of vodka, and that's what they do.

Other times Moscow River came up

  1. Or it might be that he so I think because he was really paranoid about drinking about clean water as evidence by his to-do list when he got to America and really paranoid about cleanness of water his whole life and then he suddenly drunk a glass of tap water in the middle of a cholera outbreak so people think maybe he did that on purpose. There was one other time when he supposedly tried to commit suicide by walking into the Moscow River and trying to catch pneumonia that way.

  2. Russia was quite used to these kind of things. It wasn't as exciting there. They were accustomed to their rivers freezing over and having big fares and stuff on them. Still are. I've skied on the Moscow River. Have you? When I went to St Petersburg, I saw a wedding actually happening on the frozen earth, did you? It was amazing. It's been quite hard to stand up, go down the aisle, everyone's sliding around.
