I've got no brilliant commentary to add, but I do have a few pictures. Mostly we stood way in the back, near a screen that was replicating what was happening on the stage, which was about a half-mile further down Novyi Arbat. This time was a little odd because they confined the crowd to one side, an open plaza - pedestrian area. What this did mean, however, is that once we decided to get clear of the crowd, we walked down the other side of the street and got a look at the larger crowd at the front, near the stage.
