All-Russian Exhibition Center

If you are looking for an overdose of socialist realism tackier than the ввц, this is your place. Designed for a universal exhibition (the idea was thought up after) its success among the population made them decide to keep it permanently. In fact it remains a Sunday site for many people from Moscow. There are several pavilions, one for each ex-Soviet republic and another dedicated to agriculture, the union of people, etc.. Everything has an air of decay. Some pavilions are a kind of permanent FITUR booth (Armenia), others are falling down (Kyrgyzstan) and others, such as the one dedicated to Lenin, in a sort of perfect historical irony, have been transformed into shopping centers.
