Stumbled...
A piece from the book of the famous cardiochirurg Amosov, where he tells colleagues about a tourist trip to Paris (1976).

A lot of time has passed since they wrote about the quiet streets of Montmartre, about the alleys of the Boulogne Forest... Now the heat, the wind and the cars. The flow of cars, the smell of gasoline. Cars have poisoned and depraved the city. There are no quiet streets. On both sides, all the sides are forced by cars. The interference! Drive by car is more difficult and longer than by subway.
We do not need to expand the production of cars. Our cities are beautiful compared to Europe. When you come to Moscow from the airport, you are immediately enveloped by space, air, silence...
