The New Year Ordeal in Moscow- "capitalism has taken over Russia"

Moscow is a frustrating experience in December. The days are short, freezing temperatures and heavy snow turns the roads into ice covered with slush, and the streets get so congested it is impossible to breath. Snowfalls and shopping frenzy — it is the same all over Europe.Where are all those people going? Police reports here say the number of cars in Moscow grows by 10 to 15 percent in the last two weeks of every year as people from neighboring districts also invade the capital. Most supermarkets in Moscow work around-the-clock and most malls will be open on Jan. 1. If by four in the morning of Jan. 1 you realize you need more vodka or will die without another mango you are not likely to face any problems getting it because "Capitalism has taken over in Russia"
