Muscovites laud Nixon visit as city redeems itself
Reports from Moscow describe rapid refurbishments ahead of Nixon's arrival, including whitewashing the Rumyantsev Palace, tearing down old buildings near Borovitsky Gate, landscaping, repainting façades on Manezhnaya Street, widening Vernadsky Prospekt, and creating new parks. Officials say work is part of city plans, not solely for the visit, though many locals link projects to the presidential trip.
