If you are a fan of Japanese food, then there is no better place for you then Moscow. Russians’ obsession with sushi continues to grow each year. The list of Japanese restaurants and sushi bars in Moscow is endless. Funny enough but even Italian or Indian restaurants here add special Japanese dishes to their main menus. But not all sushi places will meet your expectations. These top 5 restaurants serve traditional Japanese specialties such as spicy tuna rolls.

I am sure you have heard but there was a global economic downturn. Fortunately, for the sake of their inheritance, the children of Russia’s billionaires’ will not be affected, so we can breathe a sigh of relief. Finance magazine says that the amount of wealthy scions, based on estimates of what they can expect to inherit, has actually risen over the last year. And Finance magazine is referring only to billionaire scions.

We have been waiting for them for so long! Finally U2 ventured all the way to Moscow to perform their first gig in Russian capital. The show became the main highlight of this summer’s concert season.

Winter in Russia is not a joke. But neither is fashion and in Moscow you’ll see many a hardy lass in a LBD and heels braving the elements even as the mercury decides it’s time to shrivel up in a little ball at the bottom of the thermometer.

A little known fact about the Russians is that they have a very sweet tooth. Russian women talk about cake in the same tone of voice as they do about Johnny Depp or Robert Pattinson and Russian men’s eyes light up as though they had just heard a supermodel had moved in next door. But it has to be said that in Soviet times, Russian bakeries offered such a poor selection of delicacies, that even stale bread with a touch of jam on it counted as a treat. Fortunately, the crisis in Russian confections has passed alleviating what was no doubt a great deal of anxiety for the Russian so that he can now get his hands on a good cake or pastry with ease after the opening of some of the brand new bread and pastry shops.

Influential Russians are very keen to keep their private life private. And the most delicate subject is children. So no wonder that a list of the wealthiest heiresses in Russia, published by the magazine Finance a little bit ago, is causing such a stir and has extremely irritated reaction from some of the oligarchs. From their point of view, family matters should remain taboo subject for the press.
