The glittering skyscrapers in the Russian capital known as Moscow-City, hit repeatedly by drones in recent days, are home to corporate offices, government ministries, a shopping mall, and even apartments — some of which are owned by relatives of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, Russian politicians, and even a renowned Italian architect.
Zelensky over the weekend delivered a similar message. “Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia — to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process,” Zelensky said.The IQ-quarter tower houses several government ministry offices, including the ministries of digitalization, economic development and industry and trade.
Another apartment in the complex is owned by Lanfranco Cirillo, an Italian architect with Russian citizenship often referred to as “Putin’s architect” because he designed the president’s residence near Gelendzhik. The architect reportedly owns two apartments in a nearby skyscraper, the City of Capitals, totaling more than 4,300 square feet.A long list of Russian senators and members of the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, also own real estate in the area.
