A plan was devised prior to my arrival in Moscow: M-1 Global's head of digital services, Adel Faiz, judge Youri Lamoureux, and myself would set out on a trek to the downtown core, where we would tour the Red Square and the surrounding area. Following my previous excursions in St. Petersburg, which involved spending a winter night lost in the city with only a Russian language map to guide me, I was relieved Adel was willing to accompany me. Adel was also a practiced historian, which made his presence almost instrumental to our full enjoyments of what was to come.
