What is it? Do you not like the photographs? For me, these are wonderful sights to behold, they just warm the cockles of my heart… I should not like to have trees in cities and towns. In fact, I should not like to have trees anywhere at all. I like grey, mirthless pictures like these. Mirth is of the Devil, methinks. The snapshots would have been much better if there had been no trees at all in the first place, they should have been felled ere the photographs were taken.
Yet, on the whole, the might of the modern man is clearly demonstrated here, the power of the working man and the industrial revolution. I think it a good idea to install more gas-pipes, construct more bridges and elevated motorways to give more space to cars and heavy traffic. That is what I like. Trees, plants and animal should be done away with for good.
Lucky for you the pictures are taken during winter otherwise there would be even more Green.
I thank you most cordially, my dear Slytherin friend, my compassionate soulmate, for having pointed out this most terrible and alarming a thing. I trowed not, sooth to say, of this grotesque occurrence - very likely, by the bye - , but now, when I do perpend of this, I must, with great reluctance and abhorrence, say it could, indeed, be very, very horrible in summer. Green … phew! All this wondrous-beautiful greyness shall be no more. Tristful. But for now, while is still lasts, my soul is consoled and pacified.
Just shutup, please.
My ghost is most gravely disturbed and my countenance is the palest of the pale for it senses that you do not like me, me fairest friend D
Why, by Jove? Surely, I have done nothing to have offended you, have I? I pine for your friendship, yet you deny me this very thing. My soul is sorrowful, indeed. There is no more reason to keep ticking …. Unless, of course, you will reconsider..
Get a life.
Well, dearest bloke, make up your mind which it is that you want - do you wish me to shut up or do you crave me to get a life?
MARVIN, I am a Russian student doing an International Baccalaureate programme in Brussels in an International School of Brussels, I am currently doing an English literature course that I have taken as a language of my first choice and am desperate for help since I am weak at English on this level. Please send me a vocabulary of those kinds of words that you use because I really need to learn more vocabulary to be able to write essays on literature and poetry, if possible also explain how I can achieve your level of mastery. Thanks in advance.
Dear Konstantin,
Heavy is my soul, indeed, but you seem to be a soul most sincere … Well, here it comes: I am not, as many of you have suspected already, not a native speaker of English. I am not even of Indo-European descent . And, well, hate me for this or not, I am, forsooth, Estonian. Why do I admit this to you? It is because I do not think that I could be worthy to teach one as sincere as you seem to be. I do not will to spoil or corrupt you with ill advice. I honestly think that you should seek advice with someone properly English, someone of native speakers. Yet, if you still persevere in your desperate plea … well, heck, here is one of my private e-mail addresses: ihtus69@gmail.com. Drop me a line or two, and let us see what can be done.
What is this language you speak Marvin?
You sound like you’re reciting the Canterbury Tales or somethin’ like dat.
I speak the English language, the second most beautiful one in the world. The most beautiful is … ah, I shan’t tell… You would have guessed that anyway.
The Canterbury Tales? Ney, my good friend, I have been taught to speak so for it is proper to speak so. Do you desire to say it is not? Do I err?
No you do not err, actually it is quite nice. I appreciate the fluidity and beauty that you possess in your command of the second most beautiful language in the world.
The first most beautiful language in the world is actually CAJUN! Laissez les bon temps roulet!
Without as much as the most infinitesimal shadow of a doubt, the Cajun language is beautiful, indeed. Are you of Cajun descent yourself? Intriguing …
P.S. For the sake of the Infinite Truth, let us say, my noblest friend, that Cajun and English are both placed the second. The name of the most beautiful language in the whole infinity of the Cosmos commences with the letter R.
It is a possibility that I am of Cajun descent. My grandfather’s side had Varnadeaux as their last name. They were also from Louisiana. I’m pretty sure someone with a French last name from Louisiana probably were Cajun!
We’re not sure though.
Well I agree. Russian is an awesome language! Perhaps the MOST awesome.
Nyet pa russky!

First! Bitches!
Dont use my name…. bitch!
Last !
FIRST!
I’m first! My penis was cut off, and i’m a girl now!
I think,you have right to think,what you would be! ! ! ! ! !but in my opinion,one should not become girl,just after cut off their dick! ! ! ! ! you might be something else! ! ! ! !look down and re think! ! ! ! !
It’s at metro Sokolniki. Wouldn’t really call that the suburbs…
Moscow is pretty grim, isn’t she?
sieg heil
fuck you
It looks like a pcb !
“Nice” neighborhood, lol.
Please note the trash on the balcony on pic #3.
Maybe its full of trash because the house is still in construction?
Well, i wouldn’t like to live near plants, like on Pic 7.
But when i was in Moscow myself, i saw plants everywhere i went.
HAHA russian suberbs are like United Statesian center cities. PWNED
You should be smarter then to believe anything this blog says.
“United Statesian” ?!?
What are you smoking?!?
things which you can only find in United Statsia
Those views straight down made me nauseated.
that gave me vertigo! nice shots though
Interesting photos. The shots to the horizon are magnificent.
I like how talking about how grotty it is. Obviously, then, you just live privileged lives.
Every city has places like this; I’m from London, UK, and there are certain areas a hundred times worse.
A city is a city, it’s not going to be butterflies and rainbows all the way through, where do the unemployed live, the working classes, what about the down and outs?
Also, cheers for the photos, I’d like to go up there myself, some time.
Great to have snow in the apartment which then become mold under the floor. And they cheaped out on the masonry there in one pic. Maybe the house will collapse before it is done?
Are you live in cocoon?be optimistic guy, you are dealing with robust and strongest ever architect in the world.
Obviously Russia doesn’t know what garbage collection is.
That’s just a building under construction. Not a surgery block. Want to see an abosulutely clean construction site? Try to make your one.
Use your sense and look deep into what you seeing! ! ! ! ! allover the world,under construction projects look like these apartment blocks,you watched here.may be Russians are below the standards,fixed by some “pro western”but in many fields they(Russians)are an extra ordinary peoples! ! ! ! ! !
Comrade commie, I curse you by bell, book and candle for pishing and pshawing like this! Have you been exposed to capitalist/industrialist brainwashing of late? By golly, this is not garbage, this is art - the great art of architecture and city planning. This is not about garbage or littering, this is about conquering the Wild, this is about knocking the socks off of mother Nature and towering (no pun
) above her in the most victorious victory of victories of all times. We must not expect Nature to give us alms, we must take what is lawfully ours. Surely, you have not forgotten, have you? And after us, be there flood, inundation, deluge or diluvial spate, what do we care?
The 5th picture looks like he jumped off the edge.
Moscow is not a desirable spot to live - very little green indeed, ugly apartment buildings all over the place… a rat’s nest. I prefer St. Petersburg anytime.
Yes it’s much greener in St. Petersburg.
first
it looks like a giant prison complex. what a terrible sight and sorry place to live in. I feel sorry for poor russians who are condemend to live in that giant cement concrete prison.
Just shutup, nobody cares what you have to say.
you Indians, still living in sewers and trash land,look at your living standards and than say something about great nations.few years back i travelled to Delhi,i can` believe that many poor Indians drink and eat Cow`s “outcomes”! ! ! ! ! !.may be your country now, with the help of soviets and Russians is trying to develop,but you are still living in the”stone age”! ! ! ! ! !
india SUX
That is one big skyscraper. Anybody know the height of it?

Some great shots here!
1)stop using my nick.
2)Imagine this, you live on 32 floor and one beautiful day you have to go to work and the elevator stops working…
After a terrible descent you finally get to work…late, when you get back home you hear the terrible message - they didn’t fix the elevator yet.
пиздец смешно!!
тренируй дыхалку, а не желудок, сцуко!
С чем с чем а вот с этим я согласен!
Бля, как все засрано. Москвичи, хуле.
Pregenerated captcha sucks.
Marvin, though your attempts at proper grammar within the constructs of the English language are somewhat commendable given the clear absence of adequate education received, it would still not be advisable to “quit your day job” as it were. The aim of language is not to complicate efficient communication with superfluous jargon. One can only hope that the pseudo-intellectual prose you spout is more tolerable when inflected by that of your native tongue.
Dear Basho,
Now you’ve spoilt all the fun, but that’s all right, I was getting bored with that anyway. This’ll be the last comment. I know that what I‘ve “spouted” here is lame and inflated. I don’t speak that way in English (somehow, I suspect that you already knew that), let alone in my own tongue. Still, if you didn’t understand that this was purposeful, then, well, too bad for you.
Agreed, efficient communication is the most important thing, and that’s exactly why I’ll now launch a thorough study of the ways of efficient communication as seen here. Well, you know, such as:… first; FIRST; bitch; O_o; f**k you; no, f**k you; awesome; India SUX; what are you smoking?; it look like pcb and imho (very clear and communicative, isn’t it?); white trash is omnipresent; suck my dick for you health!!!; I cut my penis off and I am now a girl; thanks for last night slut, cocks eating is your best avocation; I want to f**ck you in asshole …. and so on. Nice, tidy, clear and efficient, isn’t it?
Attempts at proper grammar? Yes, you’re right, mine shall always remain attempts since I am not a native speaker. However, I’d never humiliate myself by being condescending towards those who try to speak or write my native tongue. I’d encourage them and correct their errors – something you fail to do. Not that I’d thought you ever would deign to do this.
One more thing. Although you obviously are very good at effective and clear communication, it still remained somewhat unclear to me why it was that you admitted to not having received adequate education. What’s the relevance? Why should one care about your education? If it is you who is not satisfied with the way things are concerning your education, then, heck, do something about it. Don’t complain here, the world wouldn’t care a brass button for this. And “pseudo-intellectual”? By God, did you really think that men and women on such fora try to be infinitely intellectual? Poor lad. Someone should tell you that it is not so. Folks just come here to give vent to their feelings or let off some steam. And so have I.
Take care
Marvin
P.S. Day job? I don’t have one. I can choose the time when I work or when I have fun. I don’t have to sit in a close office from 9 till 5.
Ксеня Субшак - свеска писа!
first!!!!!!!!!!!
hey guys ,anyone there can mail me in person!
Well you don’t expect to teach me, of course that’s just a remark of your high level of creative thinking. And I know you don’t have to be a native speaker to outperform other native speakers, quite often it does happen since I know, I am from an international school, so it also heavily depends on what kind of brain you have. You can be mathematical or artistic. Yuo speek any other languages?
Dear Konstantin,
Yes, several, including Russian. English is the best, though. Alas, my Russian is rusty, and is getting rustier and rustier with every passing day.
If you wish to augment your vocabulary, there is, really, only one viable way, and it’s best put by paraphrasing Lenin’s (in)famous words:
Read, read, read.
For simplicity and beauty, read the King James Bible (KJV); for obsolete and rare words as well as some new ones, read Tolkien; for punctuation, read Gothic fiction, especially Victorian Gothic.
God speed you,
marvin
