A huge building of “Moscow” hotel constructed in the heart of the city in 1935 used to be one of the most habitual architectural and historical symbols of our country for 70 years. For the first hotel build during Soviet times this symbolic place was chosen: near the Kremlin. Its walls witnessed all important events of the country history: war attacks and the Victory parade, Stalin’s funerals and the First Moscow Film Festival, salutes and political gatherings of the early 90s. Recently, it was decided to demolish the hotel because of its emergency state and to build another one, the same in the appearance… but ultra-modern five-star on the inside.
