A 40-meter high, 14-story apartment complex - erected in just 51 days. A construction boom in the Russian capital has been going on for years now. In 2017 the government decided to tear down communist apartment blocks (infamous for shoddy construction): around 4,000 buildings from the 1950s and 1960s are being replaced with modern high-rises.
