Russian Hare Krishna on Arbat Street in Moscow

Russian devotees of Hare Krishna have been known to parade along Moscow's famous Arbat Street on many occasions in recent years. In this video I happened to catch them as they passed a restaurant we were enjoying so I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to to follow them....

Arbat Street is a one-kilometre long pedestrian street in the historical centre of Moscow that's been around since the 15th Century. It's my understanding that Moscow's Hare Krishna community may have had trouble establishing a physical temple until recently - my guess is they're located nowhere near Arbat Street (since everything is so expensive there!) but I'll post better info once it's available.
