Survey uncovers misconceptions about Moscow among Indian outbound travellers
The most common myths among Indian tourists about the Russian capital, Moscow were revealed in a recent survey. Intourist, a company with 95 years of background in the inbound tourism market in Russia, conducted a survey among tourists from India who visited Moscow, asking them about their primary expectations for Moscow and the difference from their actual experience. The poll results were used to form a list of popular myths about Moscow, most of which were successfully debunked in the process.
“When a tourist arrives in Moscow, the first thing that comes to a foreigner’s mind is probably the Red Square, all covered in snow (and maybe a layer of red caviar on a giant piece of bread, thanks to the latest Slavic girl trend). Although it is a pretty memorable image, there’s so much more that the Russian capital can give to its visitors”, commented Aleksandr Musikhin, the General Director of Intourist and inbound tourism committee head of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR).
Myth #1: Moscow is cold
Reality: There are four seasons, and the summer is very warm
There are four distinct seasons to fit any taste beginning April. Moscow spring is probably the loveliest of them all with its fresh air, blossoming trees and cafeteria terraces opening all over the city. Summer in the city is usually hot, with a great choice of refreshing activities: you can visit an open pool like Chaika or Luzhniki, explore any of the renovated parks with a glass of lemonade, or even spend a day at the beach of Serebryany Bor. Sure, winters in Moscow are cold, but thanks to well-adjusted heating systems both in the buildings and public transport, freezing isn’t really an option.
Myth #2: Moscow is too Soviet
Reality: Moscow’s architecture is a beautiful eclectic mixture of nearly a thousand years of history
If you take some time to look around the city, a couple of beautiful landmarks from different times will appear just around the corner. Besides Soviet architecture, there are buildings dated with XII-XIX centuries along the ‘bas-reliefs’ from the art nouveau period and shining skyscrapers of the Moscow-City cluster — all for your aesthetic pleasure.
Myth #3: Moscow is one of the most expensive cities in the world.
Reality: There are options for a trip with any budget
According to the EIU rating of 2021, Moscow didn’t even make the top 100 of the annual rich cities list. There are lots of accommodation options, eateries and shopping establishments to fit your desires and financial possibilities: from Stoleshnikov Lane with its boutiques to vast malls such as Europolis or Atrium, where the clothing stores are open side by side with fast-food restaurants, beauty salons, cinemas, playgrounds etc.
Myth #4: There is no decent food in Moscow, except for borscht and pelmeni.
Reality: Moscow is full of the high-quality restaurants with Russian and world cuisines
Setting aside the fact that there’s more to the traditional Russian cuisine than you would first expect, Moscow can offer a hungry tourist a wide range of food options: there are halal and kosher, vegetarian and vegan, European and Asian restaurants all over the city. A homesick Indian tourist can also easily find an authentic eating place serving a ‘Thali’ or a ‘Dosa’ or other Indian vegetarian options.
Myth #5: People in Moscow are mean and unfriendly.
Reality: Moscovites a warm-hearted and helpful
There is a strong stereotype that pictures Russians as people who never smile. Thankfully, any public place in Moscow will prove it wrong in mere seconds. Big city people may not be keen on showing emotions to strangers, yet it usually takes a short dialogue for a change of heart, and most of the people passing by will gladly show you the directions or give a helpful tip if asked.
Myth #6: Moscow is unsafe.
Reality: Crime rate in Moscow is lower than in many European tourist cities.
Moscow is an extremely hi-tech city. Last year, Moscow became the leader among BRICS cities in terms of technological and spatial development. Moscow’s high technological progress also means a high level of development of security systems. Moscow has a “smart city” system – outdoor CCTV cameras and a face recognition system on the streets and in the subway. According to some estimates, the crime rate in Moscow is lower than in many European tourist cities. Being in Moscow you don’t have to worry about your safety.
Myth #7: Nobody speaks English in Moscow.
Reality: Young generation of Moscovites speaks English fluently
Travelling nowadays is a popular hobby among millennials and Gen Z, so the majority of young Moscow residents speak fluent English. Foreign languages are taught in schools and universities, with the addition of online courses and countless apps for personal studies that help to maintain speaking skills — so be sure that you will find help when needed. And if you are not much of a people person, all navigation in Moscow public transport is dubbed in English, so you won’t even have to ask for help since the tourist infrastructure is well-developed.

Movie ‘Brown Heart’ by Indo American filmmaker & physician Dr Nirmal Joshi
Hyderabad, 15th February 2024: Indo-American filmmaker and physician Dr Nirmal Joshi and renowned cardiac surgeon Dr Prateek Bhatnagar, Chairman, Cardiac Surgery and Chief Cardiac surgeon Virinchi Hospitals held a press conference today at Virinchi Hospitals, Banjara Hills Hyderabad.
USA-based Dr Nirmal Joshi is shooting a film that deals with the high incidence of heart disease seen in Indians all over the world. Dr Joshi is interviewing leading heart specialists of the world and enumerating their experiences in treating the patients. He has completed the shooting in the US & UK and is now shooting the Indian leg.
Dr Nirmal Joshi addressing the media said that India has unequivocally some of the best doctors in the world, whether they are practicing in India or abroad in UK, USA, Australia or wherever, the Doctors make a name for themselves like no one else and that he is very proud of that. The film he is producing is called the “The Brown Heart” He has done about 35 to 40 years of healthcare practice, taken care of patients. When he takes care of a patient, he impacts that one life, similarly when Dr Bhatnagar takes care of that person, he impacts that life. He (Dr Joshi) thought that he needs to do much bigger, which impacts several lives simultaneously, which is what led him to conceptualize the concept of brown heart. The reason for calling this, Brown Heart is that Indian heart is unique, the reason why it is different, it is well known now that a lot of people suffer from heart attacks very early in life, many die of heart attack very early in life. 50% of the heart attacks across the world in Indians/and persons of Indian Origin occur in people less then 50 years of age. Among Indians the incidence of heart disease is 2 to 4 times more than others. There were deaths reported during Garbha performance, of people exercising in Gym who were 19, 25, 30 years old; they had sudden deaths due to heart attack. To quote a latest instance he cited that Dr Bhatnagar has operated on a person as young as 19-years-old.
Dr Joshi vehemently stated that such instances as above have to stop right away and that is the prime reason and motivational driver to produce this documentary “The Brown Heart”. He also mentioned that while the medical community often voices its concern to the people through various forums people have not taken serious note of it which propelled him to do something on a much bigger scale through a real film with real characters and instances of life and experiences to awaken Indian Youth and Indian populace across the world. He then gave shape to the idea and together with his wife and went across the world to talk to experts and also to capture human stories of patients they treated and what the patients underwent in their lives by doing or not doing certain things to get a heart attack. His team is putting all of this together in the form of a beautiful story, which will be very engaging for people to be able to look at and relate thereto and benefit from the living experiences of other patients. The last one third of the film will be focused on what one can do about this problem of early onset of heart disease. The release of the film should be sometime in June 2024. He mentioned that Dr Prateek Bhatnagar has phenomenal talent, and he has narrowed down to a particular surgery called BIMA Grafting, which he has absolutely mastered.
Dr Joshi added that in Hyderabad, Dr Prateek Bhatnagar, a top heart surgeon, has been chosen to feature in the film and explain what ails the Indian hearts. Dr Bhatnagar is a world authority in BIMA bypass surgery, a method of bypass surgery that gives more than 20 years of benefits. In BIMA bypass surgery there are no cuts in legs or hands and is hence the most painless and trauma less surgery. He expressed happiness at the overall improvement in the healthcare infrastructure in India and also lauded the facilities available in Virinchi Hospitals.
Dr Prateek Bhatnagar spoke about the wide benefits of BIMA bypass surgery and how this surgery, done at less than 1% risk in standard cases, has already improved the quality & quantity of life in his patients. He stated that all patients needing a bypass surgery of the heart should get a BIMA bypass surgery for maximum benefits. BIMA bypass surgery gives long life to the patient, as it’s done not in the conventional bypass surgery mode where there would be stoppage of heart and long cuts on the chest and legs or hands. Instead there are no long cuts on the chest, Heart is not stopped but it continues to beat during the surgery, artificial heart lung machine is not used and there are no cuts for veins on the legs or hands. Surgery is done on a beating heart, with that all the risk factors like stroke, kidney damage, liver damage etc can be excluded.
Mr V Satyanarayana Vice Chairman Virinchi Group felicitated Dr Nirmal Joshi and Dr Prateek Bhatnagar and lauded their commitment to the spread of education to prevent cardiovascular disease and Dr A Sai Ravi Shanker, President Virinchi Hospitals proposed a vote of thanks.

Slow fashion is the way forward: Namrata Joshipura, New York, Fashion Designer of international reputation
Hyderabad, February 15, 2024: Hyderabad’s FLO (FICCI Ladies Organisation) Chapter was invited by FLO National to organise a program in Delhi and its Chair Ritu Shah was invited to be a Day Chair for a session on the Business of the Fashion Industry. The guest speaker of the session was Namrata Joshipura, one of the most celebrated designers of the country, a visionary Fashion Designer whose designs transcend geographical boundaries. Her creations celebrate global aesthetics.
The Indian fashion industry has been gaining global recognition for its creativity, diversity and sustainability, said Sudha Shivkumar, FLO National President. The Indian Fashion industry according to many surveys is expected to reach 115 to 125 billion US dollars by the year 2025 and is expected to record a CAGR growth of 11 to 12%.
With the vast array of products and services such as design, production, marketing, retail, etc the fashion industry is a huge fertile market for women entrepreneurs to explore, Sudha said.
This is a novel initiative where FLO chapters are invited to New Delhi and organise a program, which will provide an opportunity for better networking, Sudha shared.
Women empowerment, diversity, and inclusivity are the buzzwords now all over the world. But FLO has been talking about them for the past 40! years, said Ms Sudha.
I had the best of both worlds: New York, where I moved after marriage and New Delhi, the country where I was born. If Delhi has given textiles, colours and what have you, the New York sophistication. I have blended both worlds which still stay in me and are part of my DNA.
Replying to how technology and e-commerce are shaping up the future of the fashion industry, Namrata said both these have already defined the way the industry works. We leveraged it. It did magic, it took as far flying places without much effort. We delivered a product in Kunnur in India and the same week in Saudi Arabia. That is the reach of modern technology.
E-commerce has taken a different turn and has become a mainstay especially during the covid it stayed on.
Replying to Ritu Shah’s question on sustainability, slow and fast fashion, Namrata said that sustainability and fast fashion are not friends and they can never be friends. Slow fashion comes at a cost, the people need to understand it, she said. Slow fashion is the way forward.
While fast fashion emphasizes quick and affordable trends, it often comes at the cost of environmental degradation.
Replying to future industry Namrata said it is a crowded space. There is no entry barrier. You need to have your distinguishing factor to survive.
Sharing details on her return to the city today Ritu Shah said it is an honour bestowed on Hyderabad Chapter.
She said Namrata’s story is not just about fashion; it’s a narrative of empowerment, perseverance, and success.
FICCI FLO embodies the collective power of women’s entrepreneurship; FLO’s mission is to promote economic empowerment and equal opportunities for women. We strive to encourage, motivate, and assist women to showcase their talents, skills, and experiences across various industries and sectors, Ritu Shah said
