“I didn’t like the eagle”: a retired Moscow blogger visited the capital of the 57th region

The author of the Zen channel “With a pension for life” Marina visited Orel last autumn – on the way from the Spasskoe-Lutovinovo estate in the Mtsensky district. The house-museum of the writer Ivan Turgenev and the picturesque park around it, the traveler liked very much. Given that the estate to the eagle is only 60 kilometers, the author still decided to look into the capital of the 57th region, although there was little time for the city.

The route began with the station square in the railway area. To see the stained glass windows of the station with portraits of Denis Davydov, Afanasy Fet, Fedor Tyutchev and Mikhail Prishvin, it was necessary to pass an underground passage and control. The old building was impressed by the high ceilings and columns, but the railway museum was closed.

Next, the blogger visited Lenin Square in the center of the Eagle, which she considered faceless, and a walk to the Epiphany Cathedral. Part of the center was closed due to construction, and the Gostiny Dvor was under repair. Of the bright details, a corner building with a spire was remembered - the Free Space Theater.

The author of the Zen channel praised the pedestrian street with restraint: low houses in different conditions, shops and cafes, the general atmosphere seemed to her “cold and soulless”.

“I didn't like the eagle. Or rather, not hooked, not surprised and did not leave a pleasant aftertaste. A city is like a city. But it's kind of cold and a little gray. Perhaps it is also to blame that the entire center is in repairs, the traveler summed up.

The Moscow blogger is retired and publishes personal notes about trips, dachas and grandchildren. Its Zen channel has more than 43 thousand subscribers.
