Dear Archy,
First of all I really don’t know how to express my obsession with this blog.
As the Fifa World Cup is in Russia this year I am planning on going there next week. I would like to request you to share some of your most favorite architectures of Russia (both traditional and contemporary) if possible. I am very much intrigued to see as much as I can during my stay.  Thanks once again! 

Thanks!
