The stadiums are new, but the bodies of water was built for Olympic Games 1980 and now is under construction

What a strange point of view.

Muscovites are starve? It's curious, where have you got these improbable data?

The only difference between you and the a monkey is that monkey has brain. You don't. Moscow is very rich. And only bums or lazy drunks are starving. But they don't need food anyway.

Thank you for the explanation Defenseur regarding the stadiums. Now if you could be so kind, or anyone else, what city was displayed in that beer billboard?

It's a monument for heroes of war in Park of Victory..
..and about reactor. it's a hot water boiler. it's just a big zoom

it's not in the middle of the city. It's near Moscow Encircling Highway.

Some of Moscow's new archicture is very garish. It seems like they are tryng to creating old castle wedding cake grandeur with newer cheaper materials. Modern buildings should be sleek and forging to the future instead of cradling the past. Manhattan is not tryng to build more Empire state buildings.

Yeah, dude! You`re right! Manhattan is the center of the World and everyone should watch and study what they are building and what they don`t...
what a jerk

OK thanks. Thought that's what it probably was but at the same time I thought it looked a little like L.A. with the Library Tower being the tallest in white.

Cost of one sq foot in this wedding cakes is more 1500-2000 usd ! Do you guess peoples will pay crazy money for appartments in this buildings with cheape materials ? This is marble ,breaks ,bronse ,natural stones ,granite ,gold plated door hands and sometimes too much for good taste
By the way fortunatelly many natural materials is cheaper in Russia still than imports newer materials ( I guess it s will be not long time )
