Moscow Time Project
The centerpiece of the Moscow Time project is an unusual, constantly expanding collection of photographs of Moscow then and now. In particular, the collection features photographs of Moscow streets and alleys taken in 1913–1914 and contemporary photographs of these same places shot from the same angles.

Since 2005, the Moscow Time project has been managed by a specially created foundation sponsored by Dynasty. The goal of the new foundation is to develop the collection and promote it through cultural and education events.
The Moscow Time Foundation (Rus.) works to revive Moscow's traditions and acquaint Russians and people from other countries with historic and contemporary images of Moscow and Muscovites.
In 2003–2005, exhibitions of the Moscow Time collection were a huge success at the Pushkin Museum and the Photo Center on Gogol Boulevard, in Moscow. In 2006, the opening of the Moscow Time exhibition kicked off the Second Russian Winter Festival in London, and in April 2007 the collection was on view in Israel.
In May 2007, an exhibition entitled A Keepsake for the Future: Moscow Time opened at the Moscow City Duma.
The collection has been published in the following forms:
- Moscow Time photo album
- Moscow Time CD
- Moscow Time collection catalogue (2004)
- O, Those Unforgettable Strolls! (book)
- Views of Moscow from the 19th and 21st Centuries (folio of reproductions)
