And they both are related to Moscow State University

Indeed, the palace is the gift from the Soviet Nation to Poland. Opened on 22 July 1955 after 3 years of building, and named after Joseph Stalin. Still the highest building in Poland (230 m with the needle, 168 m w/o it).Thu Nov 09 20:46:14 -0800 2006 From: SeeKar
I recently stayed in the Novotel across the street from the Palac Kultury. One of the jokes among Poles is that this would be the ideal building to live in. That way, you could look out the window and not have to see it! Thu Feb 08 11:02:21 -0800 2007 |
