No pb, Marc let's the pictures talk...
Here is the Rossia, as pictured in Oct. 2006. It is currently dismantling.
I have more recent pictures (showing neartly nothing emerging from the ground) but can't put my hands on them... Maybe later...
Cheers.

(...)I am afraid that your information might be erroneous. They are currently taking it down. (...)Marc
Hi Marc,
Are you sure ?
Aren't you confusing with the Rossia (Rossiya) ?
Cheers.

In many news footage, you can see it... hidden by huge advertising panels.

Hi Marc,
In fact they are rebuilding the Moskva. And they are supposed to rebuild it identically (? l'identique), but I don't know how the inside will be, as the rebuilding might only concern the envelope, the outside... I have pics of the outside, as I usually stay in the Metropol when in Moscow. I'll post a few of them if you want.
Cheers.

Congratulations, you're the winner !!!

Your turn, now...

Hi Dan,
I accept with pleasure.
As I am myself between two sessions of work, I will propose an easy one, not having time enough to look for a cryptic one...
Question #211 :
Look at the following photo :
1. What are the buildings on the left and the right ?
Please, name the two buildings.
2. Who is the photographer who took this pic ?
Easy...
The first Forum Member to answer correctly both questions is the winner.
Good hunt and good luck !!
Cheers.

Marco is referring to the "traktir", the russian pub...
Dan, in my opinion, you are the winner. Let's wait for Marco's judgement !!!

Thanks for the welcome!
I think it is Yuri Borisovich Levitan! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Levitan
Hitler hated his voice and he was moreover Jewish, so he puted him in the list of the top reich's enemies! When the Germans bombed Radio Govorit Moskva, they
thought he was gone but in few minutes he was back on air!
Best!
Hi again Marco,
This sounds like you will soon celebrate your first victory!!! Let's see what Marc will say...
Cheers.

There was a time I did not have so many books... Far far before the PMD was written... And Putnikov and Durov's books were my only sources... I know them by heart
No merit in my case...
Cheers.

Hi Ed,
A quick check in Durov's book (Order of Lenin State Museum) says : "Badge "To Hero of the January, 1918 events" at the Arsenal Works in Kiev, which was awrded to the workers who rose in arms against the nationalist government". (page 72).
Hope this helps...
Cheers.

PS : very nice booklet BTW. :jumping:
