People are waiting in the large hall: the sound of steps, the clang of coins, a man is drumming his fingers on the windowsill, drivers chatting.

It is a well-known fact that radio was invented for the people just to send their kisses over to their friends. And trees are meant to act only as poles to nail the loudspeakers to. Because kisses need to be delivered far across. Here is a walk along an alley that runs between the park and the Gagarin cultural centre in Sergiyev Posad.

Krasnozavodsk cultural centre isn’t a place to be avoided. Formerly known as Palace of Culture – like many others in Russia it houses a few old-fashioned arcade games standing at the centre’s lobby.
They’re given a rest and I’ve never seen anyone playing all those air bomber flight or submarine periscope simulators. These coin ops boast real TV tubes displays – a far cry from the today’s oleds and plasmas but quite a solution in say 1983. They are always blank. Needless to say it would be great to hear the sounds of those machines one day – but in the meantime, this is the modern gaming arcade recorded at the Luxor cinema in Sergiyev Posad. They’ve come a long way from their kinescope ancestors!

Sounds of a fountain splashing over the duckweed covered Belyi (which is White in Russian) pond, traffic and the chimes reaching our ears from two directions – this is what you are likely to hear if you visit Sergiyev Posad on an autumn Sunday afternoon like this.

Trinity-Sergius monastery a few hours ago – chainsaw buzz somewhere up the belfry and some ten men and women sweeping yellow leaves at the Moscow Theological Academy gates.

This one will take us on a suburban train departing from Abramtsevo station towards Moscow. As we’ve have done a mile or two then – whoosh! – another fast train passes us by on a neghbouring track.
