New Moscow ... What content am I put into this concept? In cultural studies, the term moodernity is widely used. Modernity is modern and relevance, it is a story that is born before our eyes, here and now. Our city life, being in dynamic development, creates a situation of constant updating: the future is born in the struggle between the past and the present. Modernity includes outwardly opposite impulses: fluidity, spontaneity, revolutionaryness, craving for collectivism - and fetishism, a tendency to individualism, recluse, and the civilian of the “underground person”. Waking up in this boiler of contradictions, we can be deeply unhappy, but we will never be bored. This is the attitude of the inhabitants of megametropolis, to which modern Moscow belongs.
