Berlin: Unter den Linden - Russische Botschaft



The Russian Embassy was the first big post-war building project in East Berlin. It's built in the powerful, simplified, neoclassical style Stalin liked. While not as important now as it was a few years ago, it's immense as ever. It flies the Russian white, red, and blue. Find the hammer-and-sickle motif decorating the window frames.
