"INTOURIST" DIES STANDING.
"INTOURIST" DIES STANDING.
From the well-known hotel in October there will be an empty place.
Once "Intourist" should become last word
Domestic hotel business. Once it was ours "the answer
CHemberlenu ", beauty and pride of all multinational country under
The name of the USSR...
Now assort it too all internatsionalom, is more exact - all
The CIS. Russian, Armenians, Uzbeks, representatives of other former allied
Republics were going to in Moscow to dismantle this symbol
The left state. Built it 4 years, and to disassemble it is necessary all
For 7 months. But to break not to build - right after May
Holidays "Intourist" undertook really.
Correspondents "MK" have walked on floors of hotel, which
Will soon disappear from the person of Moscow.
Squeal of "Bulgarians", splashes of acetylene cutting torches, metal clang not
Abate neither in the afternoon, nor at night. 250 persons of workers in three changes cut,
Break, turn off hotel designs. In a ground floor hall, in
The former pool, are combined vykorchevannye toilet bowls, nearby it is visible live
Tree - it yet do not touch.
Ground floor part, so-called "stilobat", in the nearest
Week-one and a half will disassemble and on this place will establish German
The tower crane (and in a court yard one more), with which help
Gradually will lower downwards designs. And so - a floor for
Floor - will disassemble all hotel. Already now on range in
Solnechnogorsk it is taken out about 10 thousand cubic metre of dust. And it is necessary
To disassemble and take out 100 thousand more. Therefore also a work involving all hands. 25 "KamAZov"
Hardly cope with heaps of a waste.
... The Former bar rack reminds nothing the old kind
Times when behind it visitors from all light were going to to pass
In the evening an adhesive tape glass. The former kitchen reminds scenery to
To film "Capture of Berlin". The pipes which are sticking out of walls, mountains
Plasters, scrap metal...
Together with the chief of protection by Valery Anatolevichem,
Colonel FSO in resignation, we walk upstairs "in numbers".
- Valery Anatolevich, you the former scout, tell fairly -
Workers found taps in numbers?
- The champions who were only happen... - he has severely declared. - and
I will not disclose the similar information. All over the world investigation
Uses hotels for the purposes.
On 15th floor in a window we admire to the Kremlin. According to Valery
Anatolevicha, now FSO from here to photograph Putin's residence
Does not resolve.
Not clearly, where KGB looked, when the hotel has been hammered
Foreigners. From other windows as on a palm the automobile are visible
Stoppers on Tver. The press photographer Artem Makeev does the historical
Picture - most likely, more such panorama to embody not
It will be possible.
The workers assorting hotel, are compelled to water all time
Premises from fire engines, differently it is possible to choke simply from
Dust. Walls between numbers are taken already down, accurate stacks
The ventilating mines cut by autogenous cutting are combined. More "is not present,
To sozhalenju, in hotel of places... ".
We go down downwards. Memorable to millions people the globe -
It seemed, the eternal symbol of "Intourist" - has disappeared. It wished to take away
Entirely, but as soon as have begun kantovat, it took and has collapsed.
Peak over a front entrance already cut off, only pieces of channels and
Beams stick out of a wall.
- Come still! We still something will disassemble, - call us
Workers, posing before a camera.
Thanks, are not necessary. One "Intourist" it is a pity to tears...
When just confirmed the decision about a pulling down of hotel,
One of fathers of a city in hearts has declared: we will disassemble, we will transport and
Let's restore "Intourist" somewhere in other place! Judging by that,
As it destroy, no carrying over will exist. To make it, as
To return a youth, alas, it is impossible.
Dmitry Kafanov.
