The history of this house, situated near Moscow in Petrovskoe, starts in the far XVII century. On the picture above one can see how it looked at that time and till the Soviet revolution. The majestic ruins of this building still exist, awaiting the day of the reconstruction. Probably some time it will become one of the most beautiful places of interests in Moscow region.

That would be quite a restoration job.
Does the government own the building? It would be nice if they restored it.
“It would be nice if they restored it.” – Ha, don’t make me laugh!
There is a lot of work that needs to be done to restore this historical building. It will create jobs. A lot of sandblasting, tree, shrub and root removal, brick and replacement would be required.
Are you sure about the restoration of this villa? look at closely,this decaying structure is beyond the limit of something repairing and restoration.in my opinion,let this building die naturally.
Ha! You always tell it like it is.
It looks like someone tried to knock it down already but only did 1/2 the work.
Sleep? Who needs it?
Simple people? How?
It reminds me of Catherine’s Palace ruins in Moscow. (The ruins of Tsaritsyno Palace) http://www.lindsayfincher.com/gallery/v/russia_summer_03/tsaritsyno_03/
Nice photos! Thanks.
…and you did not read the comment by nahoda. We were discussing Tsaritsyno.
You’re da bieeeeeeettttccccchhhhhh as well.
if i had the money, i would restore it and live in it.
i guess some people just don’t have the appreciation for architecture.
No, just cynical.
Like Kansas, maybe?
Just needs the roof patched and a bit of paint. Has nice lawn and nice plants growing in window boxes. Close to shopping,bus line,good schools. I will draw up papers of sale for you.
Wait a minute. What about the property taxes?
Here is an interest group for architectural preservation in Moscow.

that will never get restored, cheaper to just rebuild from original plans (if they could be found).

Hello Yury luzhkov
Besides the kremlin, are you going to leave any tsarist buildings standing in the near future?

I think Mandela wrote something similar while he was in jail.
Maybe that’s what Bush was talking about.
well there a lot of such places in Russia, we had a nice history but it is changed. Now we have Mc Donalds, bad taste and no culture we can call our own.
