It is too bad in my opinion, because we definitely need more high-rises in Paris in particular, but somehow, the architecture of a place is related to the policies it implements.
And Russia is actually an impoverished sorry country. Obviously, Moscow's skyline is only a smokescreen to flatter the establishment of their regime.
Thank goodness, folks in the Baltic states and Poland are far better off than impoverished people in Russia nowadays. |
here's my unpopular opinion, (probably) but moscow doesn't really impress me - the main skyline (MCC) is a very tight cluster of supertalls, but it quickly drops off outside of that. i do like the designs of some of the individual buildings (mercury tower especially) but it's not proportional at all, and the rest of the tall buildings outside the core are mostly ugly and very spread out.
