    VDNKh

    Posted by funnelwho 17 December 2005

    An enormous exhibition park, built to demonstrate the riches of the Soviet state. Filled with lots of huge Stalinist buildings, gigantic statues and grandiose water fountains. Within the park there are still sound speakers along the footpaths - probably used for pumping propaganda during communist times. Creepily, they now pump classical music.

    The park is situated opposite the impressive Hotel Cosmos, built for the 1980 Olympics.

    Must be seen if you want to get a feel of Stalinist Moscow.

    Nearest metro: VDNKh metro station, one of the exits leads into the park
