- The atria are fully enclosed unlike the other two towers you mentioned which don't have such atria because they are clearly exposed

And please don't tell me that its going to be in blood coloured red as well? Is this meant to be a monument to the old USSR with the blood-drenched reminder of the gulags and the oppression of millions?
