Lonely Planet review

Manezhnaya pl, at the northwestern end of Red Sq, has transformed into the vast underground Okhotny Ryad Shopping Mall. Designed by Tsereteli, it's worth a look just to shatter images of Russians queuing in the snow for bread.

Mayor Luzhkov and his artist of choice, Zurab Tsereteli, are no strangers to controversy. Their taste for new, shiny, tasteless buildings beggars belief, but sadly for Moscow one has the power and the other has the 'vision' to see through these awful projects.
