About this audio guide
This guide to Winzavod in Moscow traces the old Moscow wine combine as it went bankrupt in two thousand one, then follows developer Roman Trotsenko and his wife Sofia's plan to turn the abandoned brick sheds into a Chelsea-style gallery district. You'll hear how five of the city's leading galleries moved in together in two thousand seven, and how word spread from there. Picture the fermenting-wine walls before the paintings arrived.
