Element Moscow

moscow's top entertainment publication for expats. On-line: www.elementmoscow.ru

element is a fortnightly English-language entertainment newspaper that connects you to the top events in Moscow. We began printing in 2003, when Polina Pushkina and Martha Mercer left then popular “Lifestyle” magazine to create a publication of their own. Over the past six years, element has gained a following among Muscovites and expats for its up-to-date reporting on concerts, movies, restaurant

s, clubs, sports, theater and other cultural goings-on while still remaining easy and amusing to read. We offer independent reviews, original horoscopes and engaging interviews every other Thursday, as well as a full-color Russian-English restaurant guide, which is published four times a year.

We don't know about you, but team element prefers its park benches to be largely quiet, obsequious and anonymous. We don't want them giving us advice. We might have to change our attitude though, as the city government are planning to install 20 benches which come with built-in weighing scales in Sokolniki Park. They will tell you your weight and offer you health advice. Is there no rest for the weighty?
