  • Monument to Mikhail Lomonosov, AkilinaL wrote 14 years ago:
    A bronze bust of Mikhail Lomonosov, founder of the University was placed here in 1876 and remained in the courtyard until the pedestal was damaged during bombing in 1941. Two years later a full-length statue stood as a temporary replacement until 1957 when a seated version of Lomonosov was placed here and the full-length version moved to the Sparrow Hills (then Lenin Hills) campus.

    It is really annoying when you use an online translator and make no effort to clean up the translations.
  • Zoological Museum of M. V. Lomonosov State University, AkilinaL wrote 14 years ago:
    http://zmmu.msu.ru/ab_inf.htm Tel. 629 4454 Notice how the architect, Konstantin Bykovsky (1841-1906), used decorative details of sculptured animal and floral motifs to echo the museum's collections.
  • Moscow Manege, AkilinaL wrote 14 years ago:
    Built by Augustin Betancourt in 1817 to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the departure of the French. Notable for having no internal supports despite its size of 7500 square meters. The roof rested on the external Doric columns. Originally it was designed for military reviews and parades and a riding school. Unfortunately the design was not as successful as expected and within a few years several of the wooden trusses showed cracks. In 1823 engineers renewed the roof by increasing the number of wooden supports from thirty to forty-five. In 1825 Osip Bove designed the decoration of fasces, swords, helmets and other military regalia in the cornice frieze. In the mid 19th century concerts and other exhibitions took place. In early 1868, Hector Berlioz conducted a performance arranged by Nikolai Rubinstein, director of the Moscow Conservatory that included 500 performers and a crowd police estimated to be over 12,600. After the 1917 Revolution, it served as the Kremlin Garage. In the 1930s steel supports were added to hold up the sagging ceiling. In the 1950s the space was renovated and subsequently known as the Central Exhibition Hall. In 1962 at a modern art exhibition, Nikita Khrushchev made his famous comment referring to avant-garde art as degenerate. In 2004 the building burned and by the time the flames were extinguished, two firemen had died, the roof collapsed and only the external walls remained. In 2006 a newly built Manezh opened.
  • Four Seasons Hotel Moscow 5*, AkilinaL wrote 14 years ago:
    The entire structure known as the Hotel Moskva was not built at the same time. This photo (http://mosday.ru/photos/?1_785) taken in the 1960s shows two buildings which were removed and replaced by additional sections to the hotel in the 1970s.
  • State Historical Museum annex , AkilinaL wrote 14 years ago:
    It is constructed in Russian revival style in 1890-1892 by the architect Dmitri N. Chichagov and is considered a cultural monument. 1892 - 1917 - the Moscow municipal Duma 1936 - 1993 - V.I.Lenin's Central museum From 1993 - branch of the State History museum
  • Petrovsky Passage, AkilinaL wrote 14 years ago:
    Actually GUM was built in 1889-1893 and this was built ten years later by architects S. M. Kalugin, B. Freidenberg and V. Shukhov. Style is undoubtedly similar - Shukhov was involved in the construction of GUM. The bas-relief, Worker, designed by the sculpture Manizer and fixed to the building's facade in 1921 at the Petrovka Ulitsa entrance, is a rare surviving example of Lenin's 1920 plan for "Sculptural Propaganda." In the late 1980s Turkish contractors from the company Enka restored the building which reopened as a mall in 1990.
