How Moscow is cleaned up after winter (PHOTOS)

Every year in spring, the capital undergoes a general cleanup. Not only streets and sidewalks are washed, but also buildings and monuments. Sometimes it looks quite funny!

Monuments on Cosmonauts’ Alley are also washed…

…and the fountain in front of the Bolshoi Theater…

…and the pillars of the Crimean bridge…

…and the monument of Yuri Gagarin…

…and the pier near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior…

…and the ‘Friendship of Nations’ fountain at the VDNKh exhibition park…

…and the fountain complex on Manezhnaya Square.

Regular commercial and residential buildings are also thoroughly washed!

Not only windows, but also whole residential facades…

…and underpasses.

The monument to St. George the Victorious took part in a foam party, too!
