At midnight the city is a brilliant grid of light that includes the gilded dome of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Stalinist horror of the Ukraine Hotel, and the dark loop of the Moscow River.  Downstream the lights of round-the-clock construction hang in the air over Moscow City, the steel and concrete business district.  By night, the clutter of the day disappears and lights trace the future.

If you want a vision of this futuristic Red Light district, it's a stiletto stamping on a human face.  Forever.  With the Ascendancy's legalization of formerly unfavorable ventures, business here is cut-throat, competitive and highly taxed.  There is little in the way of regulation, so an anything-goes attitude is the norm, but a growing black market always nips at the heels of legalized activities.  

In a city of billionaires, classier and cleaner gentleman's clubs pepper downtown, but it's hard to get good cheap drinks in Moscow these days, so the best bet is a chain of beer halls and strip clubs in the Red Light district.  For those only interested in "reading the articles," they have cheap booze and food and stream live sport events.  The poorest Moscovites usually just buy beer or vodka on the street and drink outdoors, at home, or wander in with trusty flasks, but if locals are going to pay at a bar, this district is the place to go.
