This is a rally big house on the New Arbat Street -
i hope you can imagine a little bit how gigantic
the banner for the celebration of the 9th of May on the building was.

****************************
New Arbat Street,
(Russian: Новый Арбат Улица), is a major avenue
in Moscow's administrative district of Arbat. The
street should not be confused with Arbat Street,
an older pedestrian street, next to New Arbat
Street.

New Arbat Street was constructed in the 1960s,
and was known as Kalinin Avenue. The street was
filled with Soviet-era skyscrapers made of steel,
concrete and glass. These skyscrapers are still
standing, and are a major tourist attraction.

New Arbat Street starts at Arbat Square on the
Boulevard Ring, and runs northwards, through the
Garden Ring, ending at the Krasnopresnya
Embankment, where it becomes Kutuzov Prospect.

Monsterhaft - Hi Thorsten.
Man kann sehr gut die Dimensionen erkennen, es sind ja tolle Vergleichsmöglichkeiten wie die Autos und die Fenster des Nebenhauses da.
Hoffentlich ist diese "Verpackung" so modern daß die Personen die dort wohnen nicht Tage im Dunkeln verbringen müssen ;-)
Tschüssi

It sure brings some color to the streets, Thor! Beautiful image and very interesting note.
