the main symbols of moscow should finally be transformed and become even more crushing on the stalinist skyscraper. the one on the red gate is waiting for the first major overhaul in its history, and since this is not just a cultural heritage site, it will not just be a repair, restoration with a scientific approach, research, and a careful selection of authentic materials. in general, as they know how in moscow, but how this skyscraper differs from others. why it was originally built with a roll of 16 cm, went inside and instantly moved 70 years ago, our ilya filippov the well-known contour is one of recognizable peaks on the landscape of the capital, perhaps the most mysterious skyscraper on the red gate, it is often called the high-rise of the ministry of railways. the site belonged to the railway, its main soviet inhabitant of the ministry of transport construction. at the bottom you can bypass the entrance to the subway, an impressive residential part with special apartments in 5 rooms with a second entrance for the servants, a small courtyard of a pseudo-antique erotonda and

a huge dungeon. we are located under a high-rise building on krasnye vorota in its underground garage , we will not show other people's cars with the exception of one n-20 gas. the victory in the fashionable two-tone version of cherry besh, by the way, she is the same age as the skyscraper in the forty- seventh year, they began to discuss. what kind of moscow will be tomorrow inclined towards the majestic general plan of the thirty-fifth year, the head of the moscow council popov, the chief architect of the city of chechulin, spoke, but the final decision was made in another office. we are now saying stalin's moscow under the years of construction, then these words were given a different meaning, the builders of stalin's moscow see the future of the capital, vechernyaya moskva newspaper conducted regular reports from the construction site in 1950 , the advanced work of masons, welders, installers, as steeplejacks were written here, this skyscraper turned out to be one of the most difficult, most expensive and strongest per square meter 39

kg of steel. you won't even take it down. that's just the cost of demolishing it will significantly exceed the cost of its construction. this is really very high-quality architecture, of course, this instant attraction did not arise from scratch, firstly, here was born. lermontov that the metro station bore the name for some time, but lermontovskaya was renamed again into the red gates, because for 3.5 centuries the center of attention was the same triumphal arch in the baroque style, installed by order of peter i to meet russian soldiers returning from the battle of poltava. it burned down several times and was rebuilt, and in the 27th year of the last century it was nevertheless destroyed. conditions are all due to floating soils and deep underground metro stations. one thing seems to contradict the other, but the engineering thought froze the ground and erected a high-rise building with a roll. the main thing

was to calculate everything correctly, that is. his unique position we are walking with the granddaughter of the author of the project, the famous architect dushkin, in the place where his last interview was recorded in the seventy-seventh. these volumes are very saturated here. and in the sense of finishing architecture and external interior, of course. this is a very big enterprise. preserved it numerous letters and appeals, the highest authority, but the violation of the maintenance of the house, but the neglect of its uniqueness, that in the seventies that now the skyscraper never knew repair pipes rot. eh, the frames are all too, it's high time to change everything, it's high time to do and this massive decor. today it is already quite dangerous,

for example, this part has been hanging out with us for a long time. wow. you, this is dangerous. and it's good that it stands on the ground. and here is a piece of the balcony, which once flew in from the fourth floor. but this is a cultural heritage site. here you can only carry out a major overhaul and restoration of the dash. it is the graphic size methods that measured the metal tiles used in this building. uh, each porch has a unique decor. here it is applied, as well as materials. portioned nature and specialists, in principle, this year and early next year we are finishing designing fully and next year, as soon as finished the design, proceed to the construction and installation work. now with laser beams, they measured all the defects and they say after the repair the high-rise of the ministry of railways will become brighter, approximately the same as it was in the fifties, when the seven first skyscrapers of europe almost simultaneously grew in moscow and became its symbols ilya filippov sergey zanina. anastasia rolf a week in the city well, right

now in these very minutes, another group of thrill-seekers descends deep underground to take part in an illegal excursions to abandoned underground stone caves throughout the moscow region, there are many such caves and enterprising citizens introduce tourists there , and of course money, and how it doesn’t end with loss of orientation in space and injuries, yes, many hours of search operations of the ministry of emergencies a. after all, even children are brought there, how this underground attraction works, and our anna balance also dared to sign up for a dangerous excursion. adults, we are responsible for the life and health of our own, this is the first thing. about what we are warned by the guide before the start of the descent, while there is no instruction or safety rules or helmet equipment. we don't have to put on a hat through the hatch. we descend to a depth of 4 m and further along a very narrow tunnel. it is not for nothing that it is called the cat's manhole, we make our way to the central part from the yanovsky quarries, the length of these

man-made caves is more than 20 km, once limestone was mined here for the construction of white stone moscow, now there will be illegal excursions through the labyrinths of 3,000 rubles. from a person. let's go to side of the sevks. and still to the left and we will go along the route of the gita handing out maps, but only an experienced speleologist can navigate them in a cave of many tunnels and passages , it is very easy to get lost here. it feels like we were here, it seems we succeeded. it is clear that we are walking in circles, the guide stops the tour, such a turnaround, we missed it, so we won’t care , or something, everything was right. caves on their own. they were not able to help them, the employees of the ministry of emergency situations, fortunately saved everyone. lie down salvation. this means that it was carried out by the fact that several channels grew out of one channel at once and left, both up and down. there were narrowings were bottle

passages were present. there was also the possibility of collapse of unstable soils, there was the possibility of the presence of gas, which, when using open fire, could produce an explosion. well, despite all the bans excursions. the dangerous caves continue every week since yana is visited by dozens of people if we have this is a reduction task to confess. if i’m not an operator, they wouldn’t go down here just like that, many go to the dungeon for adrenaline, there are even two-day tours with an overnight stay. sleeping bags are laid out right on the stones , they arrange there, even parties. although in these labyrinths they still get lost, they get stuck, they break their legs and arms, they got out of this people, and these incomprehensible lii there were a special case there. but this is not going to fall. no. and here is what to think about this from a lane with fifty years of experience, we show him our shots old workings. especially abandoned mines.

there is always there, but sometimes they collapse and close the exit. another cave popular among thrill-seekers is the guryev quarries on the border of the moscow and tula regions. in the people, they are also called byake from the 15th century. rare marble limestone was mined here. so, like , i'm climbing a task that complicates a heavy bag with a rubber boat. we will need it a little later, the entire route should pass in about five hours, if nothing happens. caution warns us guide. he honestly admits that he himself does not have a lot of experience and no great experience at the same time on his excursions. always a complete record. it's very popular here. children's excursion. here, children go a lot of children will be windy here. it's interesting making our way through all these damp dark tunnels. involuntarily arises. the question is who are these parents who personally bring their children here? well, to be here , but they live and crawl like this a very narrow

passage from here people often rescued rescuers here is one of the cases the girl did not calculate own forces and got stuck yes, she climbed like that, calm down, calm down, quietly, quietly, the farther, the more dangerous at some point we were blocked by a pile of stones, apparently recently collapsed. here's a piece over there, you see, it's a fresh, fresh piece, it happens that you are in the system and suddenly somewhere boom, well , somewhere it collapsed. here is a crack in the ceiling. no, it easily enters there, it’s better not to touch it with your hand, so that everything doesn’t fall, it was. now part of the cave has already been flooded, so there is a real extreme in the program. rafting on the underground lake. here he inflates the boats and lets them float on some free swimming like this, but now we swim up

to a very low part, we were told that we need to lie down like this and swim slowly, so as not to get stuck. now the stone is literally two centimeters from my nose. so a little stuck now. here she will turn over, for example. nothing, and this second one will save her, too, will turn over. they will remain up to their throats in the dark, and you can choke there. oh, it’s scary to watch, to be honest, our cameraman egor is a sharp impression feeling drowned his taxman. he almost turned over himself if there was no first-aid kit nearby to go back. it's another two hours the phone underground also does not catch. all these routes are prohibited, no one is responsible for those who went underground, therefore experienced speleologists.

it is strongly recommended to refrain from such excursions and not to experience once again. fate. anna bolana. egor dolinsky bosom, tatyana popova gassiev a week in the city if someone put off a walk through the autumn streets all week, so warm relatively comfortable and no rain. today, the last chance further is definitely cold snow. and in general, winter is what is happening outside the window in recent days, the real anomaly has not been like this for almost 150 years. and perhaps the same amount will not be all the beauty of the already finally leaving moscow autumn in the warmest report by irina baranova. well , there on the street, no one doubts that this question is about the weather, and those who own this important information will always attract attention in any company, especially when the weather presents such surprises, today, another temperature record has been broken; you can feel it on yourself . he's actually wearing a summer jacket. the first half of november is running out - the thermometer

has reached record values ​​for 144 years of observations and nothing reminds of the earth. unless the squirrels, who hurried to change jokes, weather forecasters say abnormal weather. wonderful autumn, muscovites will say, i don’t remember such weather for a long time, well , the rabbits in solidarity with the muscovites, who are on the contentment of the administration of gorky park with eared extended street walks and give out low-calorie rations. winter frosts. everything does not come, and therefore our zoologists are worried and say that we should not put our rabbits on a vegetable diet as a whole, so that they do not gain unnecessary importance for their high position. the vulture or the ever-thoughtful bull sheep is not interested in the weather and lives according to sensations, that is, instinctively the elephants are already in the warm aviary. the monkeys are not allowed out because they are afraid that the giraffe will catch a cold. samson does not want to go out on his own life in the moscow zoo has come to the winter mode, despite a double-digit plus in mid-november. the panda is not going to sleep, by nature it is not supposed to. but the brown ones tuned in to hibernation, hedgehogs

induce a nap on them like a dead sleep. dead in the literal sense, not in the heart beats four times per minute, only respiratory movements, in general, once per minute can be made. so if you and i found such a hedgehog in the forest, we would decide that he died, the weather could not disturb the usual way of the fauna. but flora was divided into two camps - all trees and shrubs. expressed in simple terms, they fell asleep until spring, and only the flowers are haunted by the anomalous november heat. they continue to attract attention with bright blooms. frost-free autumn made it possible for ornamental cabbage to show its best side, and some flowers. in principle, to show oneself far from every year you can see this chrysanthemum in a flower most often, it simply does not have time to open up before the onset of frost. years of snowfalls, snowdrifts of icing. at the same time, the famous moscow skating rinks received guests, and only this year work on their organization. the biggest one is just starting, according to tradition,

at vdnkh. meanwhile, a team from moscow longevity is winding up kilometers along the pedestrian zone of the capital , figuring out where the river, the negrinka, has gone. how many kilometers does it wind? oh, i'm getting to fourteen. this is how it happens on a day of 14 km on foot normally everything will change tonight. each hour. the temperature will drop by half a degree tomorrow morning will reach zero, by the way, speaking on monday night, it is possible that black ice should be borne in mind, because the temperature will go through zero, caring muscovites. they are already preparing to move the swans of the capital's ponds, warm enclosures, before the reservoirs are covered with ice, the weather will rapidly change from abnormally warm to below the climatic norm in just a day to brighten up the situation with the snow that we are promised in the coming days irina baranova gennady pallin or borisova tatyana popov's week in the city. winter and truth close it was a week in the city we will return in exactly

7 days to tell the stories that happened near us. see you. when everyone stays at home, forgetting about business, a feeling of such native warmth will appear that everyone has known our world since childhood, it takes on the dimensions of a covered place. when is everyone at home?
