  1. It's as ugly as you'd imagine a brutality dystopian uninspired typical Soviet building you would look like. The fact that the architects received an award named after a brutal murderer (Lenin) kind of fits

    Compare that to the really beautiful spaces of the Moscow subway station.

  2. "In Soviet Russia, we are all equal!"
    "Then why is my house not build out of granite and marble adorned with gold fixtures?"
    "Because we're more equal than you! Now off to the gulag with you for not being equal enough!"

  3. Up untill the recent history I used to look up to the russian ressialiance, now I look upon the majority of the russians as being ressialiant to reason. I dunno something with Donetsk or something.

  4. It is plausible that the Moscow White House is connected to the subway system even though it sits on the banks of a river. The Pentagon is connected to the DC subway system and it sits on the banks of the Potomac River.

  6. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ‘ As usual! Fun Fact: Luev Vokevv – Top #3 Architect & Designer for this โ€˜ Shining Example Of the Supreme Communist Ideology โ€˜ (๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚) was quoted as told by a close nephew saying, โ€œ… I didnโ€™t know Why I bothered ( Designing & Advising On-) with THAT Building- I knew back THEN โ€˜Communismโ€™ here would die; Oppressive Dictatorships often do eventually.โ€ His Nephew said he asked, then WHY Design & Help Build it? His CLASSICAL RUSSIAN WORKER Reply was,โ€… because the -40 Degree Iced Weather ๐Ÿ˜ฑ & Having To Eat Rats And Maggots ๐Ÿคฎ in Siberia disagrees with me…โ€ ๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸŽฏ!! Classic! God Bless. ๐Ÿ‘ด๐ŸผNoBody. 1

  8. Simon. Found a new mega proudest for you. It's called, Engineerings Connections- Sydney Opera House. It was done by VnStarOne16. Awesome documentary. I would love to see your own take on it. I was totally flabbergasted. Unhelpful what they had to go through to get it built. Love your shows, plural. Keep on bringing the best videos you're the best. …
