Open Federation windows
We all know that the windows on the upper floors in various buildings usually do not open. Experts say it's not really for people's safety. The actual cause is the ventilation system. In a skyscraper it is controlled by a mechanical system and the building has its own climate.
But in the West Tower of the Federation complex, the windows can be opened. The 62nd and last floor of the tower is occupied by a restaurant called Sixty. The windows there are equipped with a special hydraulic system. They open for a short period of time accompanied by classical music, so guests can take breathtaking photographs of Moscow.
Not everyone likes the magnificent capital
Those who once managed to come here to live permanently usually talk in detail about the problems that unexpectedly arose in front of them. They write short or long statuses about Moscow.

Poems about old Moscow
You have no equal in the world, Ancient Moscow! The brilliance of days, forever glorious, You will always be alive!
The city that Dolgoruky built in the middle of deep forests was raised lovingly by his grandchildren above other cities!
Here Ivan Vasilich the Third crushed the yoke of slavery. Here, over a long series of centuries, was the source of our strength.
Here the arrogant army of Poles found its obstacle; Here Napoleon had to unravel the instability of happiness.
Here, as it was, is now - the Heart of all holy Rus', Here are its shrines Behind the Kremlin wall!
Here the paths crossed from all six seas, Here the great ones learned - To believe in their homeland!
Expanding, growing, All in palaces and all in gardens, You stand, Holy Moscow, On your seven hills.
You stand, shining with the gold of the Immense domes, Above the East and Sunset the swaying call of the bells!
V. Bryusov

I'm here! – Long live Moscow! This is my dear heaven! Here our Mother Russia of the Seven Hundred Years is alive! Everything happened here: captivity, freedom, the Horde, and Poland, and Lithuania, the French, the laurel and the intoxication of the people, Everything, everything!.. Long live Moscow!
With what thoughts this hill of ancient walls and towers, loopholes, cathedrals and chambers is decorated! Here the story of our troubles and our glory is kept! These chapters burn with Holy radiance! ABOUT! cursed be he who disturbs the splendor of antiquity; Who will put the stamp of passing novelty on it! Here! to the work of chants, our poets! For poetry In Moscow, look for Russian words, National inspirations!

I knew you, Moscow, when you were still inconspicuously modest, When around the pond of the Neglinnaya River, where a public garden is now being built, there lay a huge wasteland And free ducks enjoyed their lives in the water;
When nearby booths thundered with incoherent music, and a number of large paintings in front of them - painted mysterious countries, the peace of the Greenland ice, the sultry spleen of Algeria;
When on the street the ringing of two-story horse-drawn horses was more melodious than the cruel crackling of wheels, And the lamps in the lanterns marveled, as if in sleep, at the gas jet, as at the heavenly shine;
When that “city” where Ostrovsky chose his heroes was still alive: a world of crowded houses, Dank, gloomy, damp - some kind of Noah’s Ark, containing all the images of cattle.
But everything has changed! You began, in a riot of anger, to crush everything, hastening to cleanse yourself of filth, skyscrapers rose in place of outbuildings, and the shameless style of modernity was everywhere...

Houses of old Moscow The glory of languid great-grandmothers, Houses of old Moscow, From modest alleys You are disappearing, Like ice palaces With the wave of a baton. Where are the painted ceilings, Where are the mirrors up to the ceiling?
Where are the harpsichord chords, Dark curtains in flowers, Magnificent faces on the centuries-old gates, Curls bent towards the embroidery hoop, The gazes of portraits point-blank... It’s strange to tap your finger on a wooden fence!
Houses with the sign of the breed, With the appearance of its guards, You were replaced by freaks, - Heavy, six floors.
Homeowners are their right! And you perish, Glory to the languid great-grandmothers, Houses of old Moscow.

Dreams watered my gaze: Once again, there, behind the Kremlin towers, Inimitable Russia, an irreplaceable land.
It is rich in wretchedness, trifles are full of meaning: The old princess from the Arbat reads Fet through her glasses...
But, arriving at a cozy church in a smart coupe, Kokotka hands out mugs, one of her own in the yearning crowd...
And you, evening walk in a troika along the Moscow River! Is it on Grenade Lane? Welcoming mansions...
And there, in one of them, where a flock of Dreams slows down their flight, the hostess melts the “Neva ice” with the Moscow sun...
Dreams! You are barefoot wanderers, Walking through the fields, Unchangeable land of Invincible Russia!

At the beginning of January the snow melted, the Moscow winter became dilapidated, And I remember that it was once different, And it was right - frosts and blizzards. Not only the Clean Ones, but the Yauza River lay chained all winter long, And, as if in a chimney, a blizzard flew from the “Colosseum” to “Spartak”. You walk along Lyalin, your face in a collar, Smoke stands like white plants, My peers - about ten years old - rush along Kharitony lightly, Two housekeepers surrounded by soldiers, Music on an invisible skating rink.

My old city, a sovereign city, My new trading and main city, Strict, tall, picturesquely beautiful And at times a little noisy.
He is attacked by the towers of the buildings. My city is bound in steel and concrete. In Moscow's multi-storey cages, people are hiding from a corrupt life, moving stupidly here and there in narrow compartments of the underground octopus, quickly jumping into cars, hiding from exhausts, noise and dust. Like a machine, according to a schedule, the city lives in its own universe. And in that wound-up mechanism, where is the soul, where are the signs of life?
What about my city? New and old, Nice, comfortable, native and boulevard. Where you and I once wandered Along the alleys of fate and Arbat. Malaya Lubyanka, noisy Sretenka, We ran along the stairs to Chistye Ponds. We learned the secrets of the Pokrovsky Gate and Sadovaya again and again, We walked along Myasnitskaya, a network of alleys, To Kharitonyevsky Lane... In my memory I see my beloved city, Warm and sweet, happy with hope.
The glare dances and plays like a ghost. The city is huge - two-faced Janus harshly leads me to the present. What's promising? What's telling?

Nowadays Moscow, the capital of all Rus', is dressed in a steel corset, And the skyscraper appearance Has replaced the huts, and taxis are scurrying everywhere instead of chaises, The store is shining with lights, You can’t hear the rustling of the pages, After all, books have been replaced by a touchscreen... Well, maybe that’s what it should be, After all, the century Now it’s completely different, And even if it’s absurd and strained, But still forward and once again Moscow steps. She likes Glass, and plastic, and metal, The capital is youthful again And the city has become modern. I know very well about progress, That it is going on, is going on now with all its might, But I, a Muscovite, want to say - Don’t forget your history! Don’t forget the battles, the glory of the heroes, the inspired words of the poets, And only then will Moscow truly and rightfully be glorified everywhere!

I remember - dad is still young, I remember leaving, some training camps. And a dashing, curled cab driver, a horse, a carriage, and a whip, and springs.
And in Moscow there is an antediluvian tram, Where the trailer is an old horse-drawn horse. And above Ekaterininsky there is a sky. Everything is imprinted in the child’s memory.
I remember my mother is still young, smiling at our neighbors. And we are going somewhere. Where? Oh, somewhere, for some reason we are going...
And Moscow is high and bright. The bustle of Okhotny Ryad. And then - domes, domes. And we are going, we are all going somewhere.
A forged horse clatters loudly on a cobblestone in some passage. The fire of the domes goes out, the candles of the constellations are lit.
Dad is young. And the mother is young, the horse is hot, and the carriage is winged. And we are going to God knows where - We are all going and going somewhere.

Changed the appearance of the Federation towers
According to the first project, the towers of the Federation complex were designed to resemble a ship with a mast and two sails. The mast was to be represented by a tall glass spire with passages between the towers. It was planned to make a high-speed lift there. The top of the spire was going to be turned into an observation deck. But the ship lost its mast in the middle of construction.
Specialists from the Moscow City Museum-Reserve, located in the Empire Tower, said that construction of the spire was stopped, firstly, for fire safety reasons, and secondly, because it posed a threat to helicopter flights - flickering glass the spire could potentially blind the pilots. So, the half-built structure was dismantled. However, an observation deck was opened in the Vostok Tower.
At night - a special atmosphere
A special peace reigns in the capital when the daylight sets. Therefore, users especially note statuses about Moscow at night. She is extraordinarily beautiful in the evenings and lives her own special life. Therefore, people are unable to pass by the city at night.

- It seems that the city creates a special world for couples after sunset.
- Only after sunset comes peace. But not in the capital.
- Moscow was not created for people to sleep here. It was created for people to work and have fun here.
- The city is very big. If you work in one part of it, it will take you half a day to get to another. And in the evening, or rather at night, back.
- An unusually bright sun rises over Moscow early in the morning. There is nothing more beautiful than it and it cannot be.
- My soul is given to the capital. And the heart is given to the night capital.
- In a distant Russian city, in an old observatory that had not been supplied with new equipment for a long time, a discovery was made. An old telescope recorded the Moon. Now elderly scientists are equipping a sleigh train to Father President. Report a scientific discovery.
- If you think about what great people admired such a majestic city at night!
I want to write about Moscow and read a huge number of statuses. They are created on any topic and meet any reader requests. Therefore, it is extremely interesting to study them.

Broken double-glazed windows of the Federation
Guests at the Sixty restaurant at the top of the West Tower may be surprised to see cracked window glass. This is especially strange considering the particular type of glass it is. It is extremely durable and cannot be broken once installed. For example, during experiments, people threw all kinds of heavy objects at windows, but the glass did not break.
The broken double-glazed windows of the Zapad were already damaged during shipment. Because each one is curved differently to make the tower's curvature smooth, making a new set of window panes and shipping them to Russia was considered too expensive. Moreover, investors had financial problems (again due to the financial crisis of 2008), so the Vostok tower even stood unfinished for several years. Eventually, the cracked window panes were replaced in their place.
