The Rostokino Aqueduct

The Rostokino Aqueduct is a stone aqueduct over Yauza River situated in Moscow, Rostokino District.
The construction of the aqueduct started in 1780 and dragged for 25 years, until 1804. More than 1 million rubles were spent on building work therefore the aqueduct has the second, unofficial, name the Million Bridge.
The aqueduct was used as an engineering structure until 1990s. In 2004–2007 it was reconstructed as a pedestrian bridge.

Moscow. VDNKh. Pavilion No. 311 Sericulture.
The pavilion was built in 1939 as the pavilion Sericulture; in 1940—1954 it was used as the "territorail" pavilion of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, then it again became one of so-called “industrial pavilions” and obtained its primary name “Sericulture”. In early 1990s the exposition devoted to the sericulture was lost; the pavilion was let on lease to enterprises of the private business. In 2015—2016 the building was reconstructed and, in the spring of 2016, the restaurant Ottepel (Thaw), designed in the style of 1960s, opened in the it.
