One more reason to think the cold war was stupid: it would be very impressing to really see those buildings! Eventually though both would/were a waste of money

I don't believe in god, but I do believe in what others call utopies.
Oh, I agree! I've been to Russia (or the Soviet Union as it was called then) and the Kremlin area is very impressive. There is a lot of great architecture. And there was a lot of *really* ugly stuff...like Hotel Rossija in Moscow...

I agree that Soviet Architecture is unique and beautiful in its own respect, and Russia is starting its architectural revitalization.
Currently, they are constructing a building which will become the tallest in Europe.
But back to Soviet architecture:
One of my favorite concepts was the Palace of Soviets. It would have been the tallest building in the world, and would have been something unmatched by anything else for years to come.

I dunno about you guys, but there is plenty of architecture in post soviet Russia, as well as pre-soviet Russia that is just purely amazing...:
pictures:
Moscow University
What Americans would call the Russian white house, but more direct translation is more of a "building of the government"
the church at Kremlin square (an amazing shot, i think)
St.Isaac cathedral in St.Petersburg
and a very simple, but very awesome looking church from novgorod, built before 1200AD, simple but astounding in how it feels (and reconstructed after it was damaged in WWII)
I'll post more later, like the fort of Peter and Paul in St. Petersburg, there are a lot more, but i dont have time right now to find pics and post them...
Astronomical instruments needed to answer crucial questions, such as the search for Earth-like planets or the way the Universe expands, have come a step closer with the first demonstration at the telescope of a new calibration system for precise spectrographs. The method uses a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a 'laser frequency comb', and is published in this week's issue of Science. Read » | 0 comments
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. The result is an autonomous helicopter than can perform a complete airshow of complex tricks on its own. Read » | 0 comments
