Recently, the number of people infected with coronavirus has increased rapidly in Moscow. According to the Moscow government, the outbreak will peak this weekend. Mayor Sobyanin has announced that it will be a "non-working day" from October 28th to November 7th to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Lockdown measures will be introduced again, but from 2020, the lockdown in 2021 will not be so severe.
The new contemporary art center "GES-2" will open in the center of Moscow on December 4th this year. The opening of the center was delayed for more than a year due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
The installation of the Swiss artist installation "Big Clay # 4" has been decided to popularize "GES-2". "Big Clay" was created in 2013-2014 and exhibited in the United States (2015) and Italy (2017). The work of art evoked various reactions among the citizens of Moscow. Many people criticized sculpture. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said the mysterious work of art will only be presented for nine months. Contemporary art may be confusing, but I think it's important to provoke an emotional reaction from the work.

In Moscow, as a measure to prevent corona infection, vaccination certification was required to use restaurants from the end of June, but this restriction was lifted from July 19. The restaurant and club were also able to return to normal midnight business. From July 30th, it is no longer necessary to wear a mask on public transportation. Corona restrictions have been relaxed a bit, but by mid-August, operators such as restaurants and shopping centers in Moscow should have vaccinated more than 60% of their employees.
In Russia, 25.9% (up to 37.84 million) have been vaccinated once, and 18.3% (up to 26.77 million) have completed two vaccinations. (Data on August 5) The regions with high vaccination rates in Russia are Arkhangelsk Oblast in northwestern Russia and Belgorod Oblast, which is ~ 700 km away from Moscow.
As the outbreak is re-spreading in Moscow and the number of new cases is increasing, Mayor Sobyanin announced new restrictions in mid-June. From June 28th, you will be required to show your QR code when you enter a restaurant in Moscow. Those who do not have a QR code cannot enter the restaurant.
Those who can get a QR code:
--People who have completed two Russian vaccinations
--People who have a history of infection within half a year
--People who have been tested negative by PCR within 3 days
You will need to fill out a special form on the Moscow Government Services Portal to receive the QR code. According to the restaurant industry, revenue has dropped to 75%, so we have decided that it is not necessary to show the QR code when using the terrace seats of restaurants. Many Moscow people now have a nice summer time eating on the terrace.

Victory Day was celebrated throughout Russia on Sunday, May 9th.
More than 27 million Soviet soldiers and civilians were killed during World War II. Victory Day is an important holiday for Russians, as many Russians have casualties to their relatives. Every year, a commemorative military parade is held on the Red Square in Moscow. This year's parade was attended by 12,500 people, showing 190 military equipment and 76 planes and helicopters.
All the soldiers who participated were vaccinated against the new coronavirus and did not wear masks.
It was locked down last year, but this year a lot of people went out to play with friends and family and enjoy fireworks at night.
