By The Walls Of «Moscow» (2004)

Overview

The impressive building of the Moscow Hotel, erected in the heart of the city back in 1935, has been one of the most familiar architectural and historical symbols of our capital for 70 years. For the first hotel built under Soviet rule, this symbolic place was chosen - a stone's throw from the Kremlin. Its walls were mute witnesses to all the most important events of Russian history – military bombing and Victory Day parade, Stalin's funeral and the first Moscow Film Festival, fireworks and political rallies of the early 90s. And recently, because of the emergency condition, they decided to demolish the hotel, and build a new one in its place, looking exactly the same ... but only with an ultramodern five-star filling.
