	Moscow Hotel - JRL 7-31-03
		For some years a debate has raged in Moscow over the future of the 1,000-room Stalinist hotel featured on every bottle of Stolichnaya vodka and built in the early 30s by Alexei Shchusev, one of the Man of Steel's pet architects, and the man who designed Lenin's mausoleum in Red Square.
		The pink marble stairs leading up from the lobby were said to be fashioned from the ruins of the 19th-century Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, demolished by Stalin; they certainly looked the part.
		The food, for many years, was the best in Moscow: borscht i vatrushka, perhaps followed by chicken Kiev and sturgeon baked with mushrooms under sour cream, with the usual accompaniment of caviar, vodka and Georgian champagne.
