Not unlike Paul Arden in his book, I failed to find a better caption for this photo, so please feel free to offer your ideas. The photo is that of the Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow. The balconies on the opposite side of the building are fine, wherefore I believe the state of this side has to do with the recent snowfall in Moscow that was followed by rain and led to many trees literally collapsing under the weight. Seems like buildings suffered, too…
