Backstory
Once upon a time, back in the last century, namely in 1977, the construction of a miracle building began in Tver. They cost it for the XXII Moscow Olympic Games, they planned to use it as a hotel, but they never completed it. Didn't make it.
Then the crisis broke out, and they could have forgotten about the building, but its impressive size did not allow it. Among the Tverites about the "glass", as they called the 77-meter hulk, legends were made. It was rumored that, due to its unusual design, it was unstable and was about to collapse.
The building was solid, but no one needed it. All internal structures are hopelessly outdated, and it was difficult and expensive to remake anything. The reason for this was the unusual shape of the building.
In 2007 in the building againwork began. He was surrounded by a fence. The area around the building was improved. Lawns, flower beds and a parking lot appeared next to the "glass".
