NOBODY HOTEL TO DIE.
NOBODY HOTEL TO DIE.
Hotel "Intourist" it is soon left rats and cockroaches. At once
After Christmas Moscow has said goodbye to one of the
Celebrities. Untimely died hardly it was executed 31
Year. Yesterday became the last for a cult symbol
The Soviet epoch - hotels "Intourists", that for the present towers
On Tver. But it was already left by last lodger. Serving
The personnel will receive one of these days the severance pay. And telephone numbers
Already belong to other organisations.
In March hotel will start to take down. But piously the place will not be
It is empty. Through two and a half a year here will construct the modern
Hotel of the European class. However, "light memory" on
To "Intourist" it does not cancel.
In due time the glory about Moscow "hotel N1" rattled on all
The world. A 22-storeyed building from glass and concrete in the beginning of street Bitter
Was the centre of a night life of capital. Here worked interdevochki,
There was a brisk exchange "wooden" for dollars and fartsovka on the mad
To the prices. But after the reorganisation beginning a beautiful life of "Intourist"
Gradually left in the past. To buy dollars, good belongings and
To take a look at prostitutes now it is possible at every turn Moscow. And
The hotel for quite some time now began to change orientation, gradually
Turning to a place of a disposition of offices of different firms and a place
Dismantlings between competitors. The most known criminal case
Has occurred here in April, 1999 - explosion at office has thundered
Joseph Kobzon's companies "Moskovit" (special services qualified
It as act of terrorism, but and have not opened).
Hotel "Intourist" on 436 numbers (among them 13 apartments
And 70 lux) have constructed in 1970. The building called bewilderment at
Many architects since the moment of construction: it was allocated
Unreasonable growth also closed a kind to the Kremlin from the Pushkin area.
And all the same - who could think, that to "Intourist" will be
Such destiny is prepared? Speak, last point over "i" has put
Personally Jury Luzhkov. Passing somehow by, the town governor
Has expressed, that "Intourist" supposedly sticks out on Tver, as rotten
Tooth. The destiny of hotel has been solved.
Inhabitants are perplexed - really "Intourist" will blow up?
No, certainly. The building consists almost of 7 thousand elements,
Which will assort by means of elevating cranes. Dismantle
Will begin in March and will last under the plan eight months. Will not carry
To motorists - the "Intourist" pulling down will stir to movement of cars on
Tver, street will narrow on some metres.
And new five-stars hotel will construct by the end of 2004. In him
Will build, as well as in old, an order of 400 numbers, but the height will be
Much more modest - a maximum of 12 floors. Definitively plan
The future hotel it is not confirmed yet.
The foreign press, by the way, too has not passed by this
Significant event also has in own way said goodbye to "Intourist"...
"Baths flew, on a floor cockroaches were unsteady, and in a cellar were found
Huge rats. The lift could fail at once on three floors, in
Shop did not do discounts for the stale goods, remains only
To come into a bar, to get drunk and cease to notice all around ", -
Shares memories on times "inturistovskogo" blossoming
The correspondent of the British newspaper "The Times".
But from cockroaches was to run nearby to the Bolshoi theatre -
We will add from ourselves. And behind it too, and not just behind vodka and
Prostitutes there came here foreigners in the Soviet past. And
How much businessmen known nowadays all over the country have grown from
"inturistovskoj" fartsy, perhaps, we will hold back...
