"Moscow" will leave under the earth.
"Moscow" will leave under the earth.
I DO NOT LIKE a communistic aesthetics: sickles and hammers on vests,
Scatterings of awards, nested dolls with persons of secretaries general, papahi from astrakhan fur.
I have not had time to get used to it therefore I do not test emotions,
Looking as all is successful it is on sale on Arbate and Tver.
BUT THOSE to whom all it is pleasant, are ready to pay still the big
Money for possibility to visit that epoch. Hotel "Moscow"
Foreigners liked for its accessory to the past. But it is fast it not
Will be. On public town-planning council the decision is accepted
To take down a building and to construct on its place of year for 2-2,5 something new
On motives of the old. This idea for the clear reasons is pleasant to me,
But from the point of view of common sense hardly it is necessary to take down
The monument thought up by Alexander ShChusevym let and not the best
To the left epoch.
Speak, the pulling down of "Moscow" is necessary. Finished in 1935
The main case with a kind on the present State Duma has worn out on 85 % and already
It is not maintained. The life glimmered in two other cases,
Looking on "Metropol" and the former Museum of Lenin. In the beginning 90
The city authorities have made there repair and have started to dream about
Complex reconstruction and bolshej profits. Anybody especially not
Hid, that the 4-stars hotel was filled with lodgers only
On a quarter. Projects on more effective utilisation
The invaluable city earth in city centre it was offered an order
Ten, but any it was not possible to provide with money. Two years
Back, when have closed the main case, the Moscow developer
The company, appear, has found the investor. But, judging by that from those
Time in shape of "Moscow" has changed nothing, the investor from a hook
Has broken. To construct new hotel, it is necessary a 300 million order
Dollars
Question, on what money while it is opened will go: in the definitive
Variant the project is not confirmed yet. It is planned, that a new building
Will outwardly repeat the old. For this purpose use another,
Alexander ShChuseva's non-realised project. Its basic difference in
Two main entrances. (In the present variant "Moscow"
Has one main entrance from area party Manezhnoj. The second
Will construct on Theatrical.) it is known also, that a total area
Will increase from 97 thousand п 2 to 143 thousand sq. п 2. Under a building will dig
The parking on 800 mashinomest, and under a glass roof will take places
The three-level congress centre. By the way, use of the underground
Spaces became the reason of a pulling down of hotel. At Moscow the bad
Hydrology, it is well-known. When built Manezhnuju the area,
Because of mobile gruntov and the rivers Neglinki it was necessary to dig less
Floors, than it was provided by an original project. But at
"Moscow" because of quicksands has rotted through the base: walls have gone cracks,
In floors holes were formed, and on some floors have ceased
To be closed doors. Probably, new project will execute dream,
Remained from times of building of the Arena, - to connect the underground
Shops with an archeology Museum, and subsequently - with the Bolshoi theatre.
It is necessary to find only money for new "Moscow".
