А КТО? ЯРЦЕВ?

Where's best Irish pub in Moscow! Thanks for Eduard!)

Russian Book Chamber, the national bibliographic center, which is where the national bibliography is compiled. This group was established in 1917 to register all books, carry out numbering to meet international standards, and distribute copies to libraries throughout the country. The building was the residence of a teacher of Peter the Great, Nikita Moiseevich Zotov (?1644—1718) at the time that he died.

in russian language -)

earlier it was called "fox hill", `cause "bald" and "fox" (as adj) have difference in one letter

This 1960s era box-shaped building is home to the Central House of Artists and a branch of the Tretyakov Gallery. The entrance facing the Garden Ring leads to three floors of exhibit halls where members of the artists' union and others display their works. The exhibitions change frequently, and many works are for sale. In addition to the galleries, the entrance fee allows access to shops selling souvenirs, books and artist supplies, as well as a simple buffet on the street level. On the side of the building away from the riverfront is the entrance to the New Tretyakov Gallery that is devoted to Russian art produced after the 1917 Revolution.

The bridge was completed on 1 May 1938 as part of Stalin's reconstruction of Moscow. Legend says that among the hundreds and thousands of rivets in the chain suspending this bridge, there is one solid gold rivet. The roadway deck is 24 meters wide with a 5-meter pedestrian walkway on either side. The Moskva River is shallow here so near this point area it was easier to cross the river. It was been known as the Crimean ford for centuries since in this area the Crimean Tatars used to cross the river on horseback to raid the city. The first bridge on this site was a wooden pontoon bridge built in 1786 and called the Nikolskiy Bridge. This was rebuilt as a fixed wooden causeway with a central span for boat traffic. Floods and ice damaged the wooden bridge requiring numerous repairs until 1873 when a steel bridge was constructed.

Very sad indeed :-/

Hotel "Уют" они назывались :-) Целая жизнь в них прошла!

Стол бильярдный до сих пор стоит, перекореженный, а от качалки-пару железок осталось.

Deepest condolences to russian people about the terrorism attack on 30 march 2010

Предыдущий комментарий не точен.

На заводе никогда двигатели не производили ,а привозили из Рыбинска.

С правой стороны здания участок был расширен подсыпкой грунта в стороны пруда. Летняя веранда установлена на как раз на этом участке. Летом 2009 капитальную летнюю веранду разобрали, оставили только настил (возможно не было разрешения на капитальную постройку?).

Точнее "Хрущевка", точнее панельная пятиэтажка первых серий. Кирпичных пятиэтажок то много, в том числе дореволюционных и 20-30-х годов.

nothing inside - reconstruction

No, it was not. That was claimed by the Russian Railways authorities on that day, but in a few hours they stated that renaming is still under consideration. They met with resistance of KPRF (communists) and some other organisations. You can check it at Russian Wikipedia. Anyway it is still Leningradsky Terminal.
