Great place but always crowded. And the hostility of the locals is felt, and it’s understandable: the pond is small, but the whole huge Moscow is coming here. Bulgakov and his novel are only reminded by a pointer on a pillar, which is periodically stolen as a souvenir, probably. If you go from st. m. "Mayakovskaya" then on the shore you immediately find yourself in the world of Krylov and his fables - a whole alley of sculptures. It is better to refresh the fables in advance in memory, there are no hints on the steles.→
