texts about Moscow

[Francoise Rosset]

I find poetry is always a convenient "in."  There's Pavlova, Pushkin,
Lermontov anout Borodino,  Tsvetaeva, then Barskova etc etc.

Along with Khlebnikov's poem, there's Karolina Pavlova's poem on Moscow:
http://poetrylibrary.ru/stixiya/all-121.html#den-tixix-grez

and Pushkin's, from Evgenii Onegin, 7-XXXVI ff.
http://www.pushkins-poems.com/Yev704.htm

and Tsvetaeva's "Poems for Moscow" ...  ("У меня в Москве ...")

There must be a site somewhere of poems about Moscow
here's the city hymn, anyway :)  http://www.mos.ru/about/symbols/hymn/
from the "official" site:  http://www.mos.ru/about/#
