Rossiya was laid down in May 1895 and commissioned in September 1897, a very fast construction time for the Russian shipbuilding industry which took almost 6 years to build her predecessor Rurik.
Rossiya displaced 12580 tons, had top speed of 19.74 knots and was heavily armed with four 8” guns, sixteen 6”, twelve 75mm guns, twenty 47mm guns and eighteen 37mm guns.
Rossiya is has been in the Kombrig catalogues for a while and when I got the kit I was expecting the quality to be on par with their earlier kits, which is to say not all that great.

 eXile - Issue #202 - Welcome to Rossia - By Jake Rudnitsky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Amazingly, the Rossiya was designed by Dmitri Chechulin, the same architect who built the Kotelniki, one of the Seven Sisters or Stalin skyscrapers, the greatest of all of Moscow's post-Revolution buildings.
Sex in the Rossiya isn't as blatantly for sale as it used to be, although two aggressive strippers still try to coax men in the East Vestibule into their club.
While the Rossiya's website claims that it had a profit of only 7,000,000 rubles (a quarter million bucks) on earnings of $30 million in 2003, it's safe to say the real numbers are much higher.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > World -- Much-mocked Hotel Rossiya to be torn down in latest example of building ...
Now, the 2,717-room Hotel Rossiya is to be torn down as ordered last week by Mayor Yuri Luzhkov – the latest Soviet landmark to fall in a capitalism-fueled construction frenzy that is changing the face of the Russian capital.
Critics complain that destroying the Rossiya is wrong: The hotel is said to be profitable, the city has only general plans for what to build in its place, and while it may not be pretty, the Rossiya is a significant part of the city's history.
Contrasted with the colorful onion domes of nearby St. Basil's Cathedral, the Rossiya's steel-and-concrete bulk evokes the Cold War period of stagnation under Leonid Brezhnev, the rigid leader in office when it was built.

Looking up at this architectural ogre today, it is hard to believe that for many years the Rossiya was the most prestigious hotel this side of the Berlin Wall.
Not surprisingly, this glorious chapter in the Rossiya's history is well-documented in the hotel's museum.

Rossiya is huge, but it is just next to the Kremlin, the rooms and the service is not that good.
Ukraine might be cheaper and the rooms might be slightly better (although this depends greatly on what kind of room you ask for), but it is located slightly out of the very city center (however, Arbat is very close).
Haven't tried Rossiya, but Ukraine has ok service becuase it's not as big and breakfast was fantastic (a wide selection, served buffet-style).

But the Rossiya is the most notorious of them all, with a reputation for bad hygiene and bad looks which many foreign tourists would have experienced, given its position off Red Square and overlooking the River Moscow.

I stayed there on business with a colleague for three nights, and while I can't vouch for its appearance, the Rossiya is excellenty located across the road from St. Basil's and the Kremlin.
Prices were also very reasonable for the area (around Ј55 per night.) However, the expensive hotel bars are riddled with prostitutes (who will also call you in the middle of the night offering their services - unless you request for your phone not to be connected, as I did).
I stayed at the Rossiya in early June 2003 for 6 nights.

Edinaya Rossiya had at least one, and sometimes two candidates in each district, and there was often a third and even fourth candidate who could count on being the beneficiary of direct or indirect support from pro-Kremlin or Kremlin-tied forces.
The two exceptions to the Yabloko-Edinaya Rossiya confrontation were the 209th and 213th districts, where, respectively, the SPS’s Irina Khakamada faced off against Duma speaker Genaddi Seleznev and PRP leader Oksana Dmitrieva (a former Yabloko member) was the clear leader weakly challenged by a both Yabloko and pro-Kremlin candidates.
She brought the party of power proper one of its poorest performances in the city, winning only 7% of the vote, but Seleznev is already a member of the extended party of power, so the result is another victory for pro-Kremlin forces.
