ЧТО НОВОГО? /WHAT’S NEW?/Bolshoi Runs 16 Times Over Budget - 18 August 2009.The restoration of the Bolshoi Theater has cost 16 times more than originally planned, largely because of violations on the part of the contractors, the Audit Chamber said in a report Monday. The Audit Chamber, charged with overseeing the use of funds from the federal budget, found that reconstruction expenses had skyrocketed from the 15 billion rubles ($610 million) originally allocated. The theater was originally closed in 2005 for repairs and was due to open in 2008, but structural problems discovered by engineers have forced authorities to push back opening night indefinitely.

Ralf: Yes, that's right. I've been thinking about buying a house not too far from the center, preferably in the North part of town. J: That's nice to hear. Why north though? R: The housing prices are a bit cheaper there. I am on a budget, you know. J: Well, but you do know that the north part of town has a higher crime rate than most. You would need to factor in increased home insurance as well as extra security for your house. R: That could be why it’s cheap. J: Think about that. R: I definitely will. But i'm afraid I can't afford a decent house in any other part of town if I want to live close to the center. J: Why are you so determined to be near downtown? You have a car, you can get there quickly at any time. R: That's true, but it's the best school district in town, and I have to think about my children's education.
