Khanzhonkov Cinema

There was and still is a movie theater across the Garden Ring from the Variete. First called "Khanzhonkov," then "Mephrabpom," then "Gorn," then "Moskva," today it is known again as the "Khanzhonkov," and it is one of the few (if not the only) theater to show only Russian-made films. From here Rimsky would have to make a u-turn to head for the Leningrad station.
