Pashkov House

It's a lovely building, but the people who run it are extremely inhospitable. After they gave a guard with an AK 47 see if your name is on the list, they can't even provide chairs to sit on in the dressing room and instead require people who are performing for free to stand for hours. Then the meagre buffet was just a scrum not worth the effort.

Night view of the Pashkov house, Moscow, Russia. The palace, of neoclassical style, was erected in 1784-1786 by Pyotr Pashkov, a Muscovite nobleman, and presumably designed by Vasili Bazhenov. Today it is owned by the Russian State Library.

Cool architecture and historical importance

Amazing place! It was pretty fast to get access to the library, you just need to go to the building in the right and present a document. The building stood out from the others, a lot of marble, really big! It worth's the visit.
