Описание: EN: Well, I decided to get, the mothball smell, my old negative film, scan him and see what happens. Once upon a time in Tverskaya street (its most central ave.). It was several years ago, in january, after the New-Year's celebration 2002. Just nostalgia. Camera just Nikon low-price segment. Scan: Epson Perfection Photo 4990. Film: Kodak 200. Tourists are told that Tverskaya Street existed as early as the 12th century. Its importance for the medieval city was immense, as it connected Moscow with Tver city. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Tverskaya Street was renowned as the centre of Moscow's social life. The nobility considered it fashionable to settle in this district. Towards the end of the 19th century, the street was reconstructed, with stately neoclassical mansions giving way to grandiose commercial buildings in an eclectic mixture of historical styles. Further expansion occurred in line with Stalin's 1935 master plan. During that period, all the churches and most other historic buildings were torn down in order to widen the street and replace low-rise buildings with larger, early Stalinist apartment blocks and government offices. The project was only partially completed before World War II; more Stalinist blocks appeared in 1940s and 1950s, still leaving a lot of 19th century buildings. Most of them were torn down later, with a few exceptions like Yermolova Theatre still standing. Intourist Hotel, a 23-story tower built in 1970, has been demolished in 2002 and replaced with an equally controversial hotel block. Today, unfortunately, Tverskaya Street has become focused on only expensive service points, high-class bars, restaurants and luxury shops unavailable for simple russians with crowds of tourists and greedy taxi-drivers. ES: La calle Tverskaya (una de las principales calles de la capital rusa) en visperas del Ano Nuevo en enero de 2002. Me decidi sacar este viejo, maloliente por la naftalina, negativo fotografico, escanearlo y ver que me iba a salir. Experimente cierta nostalgia. Claro que la imagen salio un poco oscura, el negativo tenia ya una edad para respetar. La calle Tverskaya ha sido conocida como la carretera principal desde el siglo 12 y a lo largo de muchos siglos ha sido el ejemplo de la innovacion arquitectonica y el centro cultural. Desgraciadamente, hoy dia la calle Tverskaya se ha convertido en una zona de concentracion de bares, restaurantes, tiendas o clubs de alta gama, no asequibles para un ruso medio, llena de turistas y taxistas avaros. RU: Тверская улица в канун Нового Года, в январе 2002. Скан старого, пропахшего нафталином негатива.
