In XVIII-XIX centuries big area to the north of Obvodny channel around the road to Moscow was the settlement of two Guard Regiments. Izmailovsky Regiment was located to the west of the Moscow road and Semenovsky Regiment (Semenovsky Polk in Russian), which is the object of your quest, was to the east. Soldier barracks were located along parallel streets which were first named after the regiment companies (1st Semenovsky regiment company street, etc.), but in the mid-XIX they were given the names of towns from Moscow regions: Ruza, Mozhaisk, Vereja, Podolsk, Serpukhov, Bronnitsy.
Today it is a residental area, and one of its courtyards is decorated with pictures from Semenovsky Polk everyday life.

Come to the starting point, look around and collect a few numbers:
- X is sitting on a spire. Who is it? If it is a golden cockerel then X=1, if it is a double-headed eagle then X=2, if it is an angel then X=3
- Y=how many animals, or parts of them (humans and insects excluded) can you see on a power substation nearby?
- Find a bird sitting in a cage. Z=how many circles can you see around the bird (please count only those circles which look like circles).
The cache is attached to the gates at N59 54.(X+Y)(Z*3)4 E30 19.(Z*2)(Y-Z)5. It is bigger then film canister but still pretty small.
In case if it stolen, you need to go to the crossroad at point N59 54.8X(Z+1) E30 19.(Z+Y)(Y*2)8, look around and count the number of directions where you can see tall powerplant chimneys or church/cathedral cupola. The total number of chimneys and cupola must be equal to X+Z. It is better to count them in daylight and good weather conditions, because otherwise some of the objects might not be visible.
