The Guardian wrote an interesting interactive guide to Putin's daily drive from his home to the Kremlin. The animated map leads you along his route and several videos by Luke Harding give a bit of insight into Moscow life.

By the way, those of you who have to drive through Moscow will find this very useful. When Putin goes to work or home, the roads along his route are always closed for about 40 minutes, creating huge traffic jams.
You will also learn that if you want to live in Rublyovka gated community of newly rich Russians just outside of Moscow, a house will cost you about 5 Mln USD.
