Details:
Katya hurriedly leaves the restaurant after lunch to return to her children.  She rushes up Gorky Street (now Tverskaya) with Barley in hot pursuit, trying to arrange another meeting.  Katya jumps on a trolleybus which heads up Tverskaya towards Pushkin Square.

Notes:
Barley and Katya are on the opposite side of the street from the Hotel National which they have just left.  The old Intourist Hotel (70s tower block) can be seen in the background.  Katya gets on the bus at Soviet Square, just across the road from a red building which was the Moscow City Soviet building - the mayor's residence.
