Здание Министерства иностранных дел 1948-1953

Гельфрейх В. Г., Минкус М. А., инж. Лимановский Г. М.

Высотное, 27-ми этажное здание, высота его составляет 172 м. Находится на Смоленской-Сенной площади и является резиденцией Министерства иностранных дел, Министерства внешних экономических связей (МВЭС) и Министерства торговли РФ. Завершая перспективу с Бородинского моста, оно образует площадь, где в 1970-х по проекту тех же архитекторов были построены две одинаковые башни-гостиницы "Белград" и "Золотое кольцо".

Hej på dig, Yamalia ! Imagine that you began your career as a photographer already in 1951. And I, who thought that you were a teenager ;) Is it an old postcard, or is it a relative of you who has taken this photo ? Thank you very much for the moon video and your nice comments. I am very happy to have such a sweet and nice friend in our great eastern neighbor-country. I would love to know how you got hold of the photo of my refrigerator ? ;)) One of my so-called "friends" must have uploaded it to the internet. Unfortunately, half of the beer disapeared last night. I'm glad to hear that you liked your flowers. I took the photo at the home of my neighbor. I don't know why, but in my home no plants are flowering. Perhaps I have to start giving them some water and fertilizer ;) Nu börjar jag bli törstig. Dags för en kall öl. Ha en trevlig lördagskväll ! Varma hälsningar o. Kramar från, "B" !!!
