Its walls have silently witnessed all key events of the Russian national history: war time bombings and Victory Parade, funeral of Stalin and first Moscow International Film Festival,celebratory fireworks and political meetings and protests during early 1990s. Just recently due to the critical condition of the building the decision has been taken to demolish the hotel and build on the same place a new exactly same one but with contemporary 5-star facilities and interiors...
