your opnion

This one is great. I love the height, color, and heliport.:D 10/10

Yes. The battlemented parapet around the heliport sure is something! Complements the lighthouse.

Moscow just doesn't stop giving us this amazingly traditional style in newer materials.

(Are pics 1 & 2 photo-shopped or similar heavily, especially 2?)

The arches @ the base themselves look great, but the spaces look like bit of a cheap carport for visitors.

Not for everyone, but I like it.

9.5

8/10

- Love the base.
- Like the height and the retro styling.
- Indifferent to the shape.
- Dislike the thing under the heliport.

I suppose some of the photos are real but they still look a bit like renderings/paintings :)

6/10

Doesn't impress me that much.

7.5/10

Weird and grand at the same time.

sorry, no way :dunno: 3,5/10

it is pretty impressive but very kitsch-y. I'm no fan of neo-historism. 5/10 but only because of the height.

10/10!!! And the interior is jawdropping!! I guess few if any residentials in US are so luxurious!

6.5/10 not my taste. i find it ugly. and that 4th photo in the first post looks like it's one of those dense residentials you see in Sim City 3000

man! do you read what I wrote?
two first is photos. two second is renderings.

7/10

guy. you not vote!

wow...9/10 i think its awesome

:puke:

The worst retro kitch I've ever seen in my life. 0.0/10.

:puke:

Modern looking Russian buildings are much better than this retro crap. Sorry.

Kitchy as hell, but not that bad. 6/10

Stunning monumental architecture. I like it :cool:
9/10

I'm fan of Moscow, but with projects
like this one I find no words, just :puke:

And it isn't even the worst among the latest
nouveau-riche hideous creations.

0/10

Interesting but gaudy-looking. 7/10. The structures on the top remind me of The Drake (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1131527#post1131527).

I think this one looks fucking awsome :D
I know it's kitchy,but i just like it...
8.5/10

not bad, 7/10

A rather tacky homage to Stalinism, I suppose... 6/10 for the curiosity value

Stalinism? Are you kidding?

Impressive !! 9/10

Overall it's rather kitsch, and the facade is overdone with colours and little details.

Certain individual parts of it are quite grand and impressive when viewed close up, but the overall effect of the building is kitsch. I think perhaps a shorter and less 'decorated' version (without the gaudy colours) would be better.

really tragic
seems like more you go east, more you need to show off how much money you have

The difference of Russian style from Western European doesn't makes it ugly. It is beautiful building. 10 of 10.

It's pure kitsch, and that's why it's quite impressive ;):D

Здравствуйте! Попал в неприятную ситуацию, срочно нужны деньги. Нашел тучу компаний, которые дают деньги в долг на короткое время, например вот одна из самых известных - http://migcredit.ru/, по НТВ даже крутят. Вот думаю взять в одной из них, но пугают не столько бешеные проценты (60% за две недели), сколько то, что обманут- накрутят всяких комиссий и тому подобного. Может быть кто-то имел дело с подобными "ростовщиками" и может посоветовать надежную компанию?
