But at least it's good enough for my young middle-income family. Yes, the triangle structure is for billboards. The odd spiral thingy is in the park near Rechnoy Vokzal (the river-boat station), so it might be some decoration, maybe a fountain; never bothered to come there and see. The anti-tank obstacle monument is several times the real size. I wouldn’t call Ikea furniture expensive and fancy, even for Moscow. But at least it’s good enough for my young middle-income family.

There is a large modern mall and an Auchan (closest thing to a Walmart in Russia) in addition to the Ikea now. Ikea furniture is of far superior quality than almost anything else available here and is considered expensive and fancy. Most of our furniture was purchased in this Ikea and the other stores can be one of the only options if you want to get something western in Moscow. Not very good, but everything is relative - if you lived here very long you would beg for a Walmart. The monument is still there, much as it appears in this photo. The road is the main connection to St. Petersburg and the international airport. Traffic is always a nightmare with cars constantly driving on the shoulder, median, and creating extra lanes. The other Mega Mall is here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=moscow&t=k&ll=55.604548,37.49254&spn=0.00543,0.021629 This is actually one of the 2 or 3 biggest and nicest shopping centers in all of Russia.

Which will, of course, fall apart in six months. Gotta love IKEA. “The Swedes succeeded where Germans couldn’t but instead of panzers and howitzers they are using Billy bookcases and Robin wardrobes.”
