I'll bet the Ghum store's a bit different from the time I visited back in '91. A bunch of us students spent a couple of nights sleeping in the train worker's hostel (actually, one night of those was spent on the top floor landing of some apartments by the Bolshoi... too much vodka) before flying up and east of the Urals to Sverdlovsk then further by train to a wee Siberian village... ah. Loved it! Would love to return there sometime. My vote's for Moscow University. It's a bombastic big heap and I should really've voted for one of these beautiful wee churches (the ones I saw outside Moscow were fully of sex-ed graffitti courtesy of the local youth) but there's something glorious and Russian about all that towering might, heh.

By looking at a portion of the form/image I would lean towards the palaces, especially the Kremlin... mx2.5 _________________ *Art of Architecture: The conscious use of skill and creative imagination in the production of an aesthetic building. *Science of Architecture: The calculated use of technical skill and knowledge in the construction of a functional building.

Not clear on your criteria. I agree. It is former Russian territory.

Well, since I am a 20th Century kind of guy, I won't be happy until I can see the red stone Lenin monument or tomb in Red Square (?). I have yet to see good pictures of it. I love love love Melnikov's horseshoe garage. Thanks for all the beautiful photographs. . . SDR
