Berlin City Administration

Berlin has strong ties to the rest of the world.

Many of the visitors of state invited to Berlin by the federal government use their stay here to meet with the Governing Mayor, too.

Ideally, these contacts lead to lasting relationships. In addition, Berlin’s 17 city partnerships are given focus and content at the Berlin Town Hall, which also coordinates Berlin’s work in various international city networks and assists the many different embassies and other foreign missions here in the city.

MOSCOW TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY DEVELOPMENT

Moscow traces its history back to 1147.

Moscow has been a capital city several times throughout its history.

In 1922, while remaining the capital of the Russian Republic, Moscow also became the capital of the Soviet Union.

Despite all the trials and tribulations Moscow faced over the centuries, its architectural landscape still boasts structures from almost every historical period.

Twice it was proposed to rename Moscow, in the 1920s and ‘50s. I n the former instance, the plan was to name it Ilyich and in the latter, Stalinodar. In the end, it retained its original name — miraculously, perhaps.

The postwar era’s architectural legacy includes seven high rises built in what later became known as the Stalin Empire style. These seven imposing edifices were supposed to replace the demolished major churches as the city’s main reference points, along with highlighting the grandeur of the Soviet system.

Initially, it was planned to build the seven high rises around a Palace of Soviets as the centerpiece, but this latter building remained on paper only. The existing seven buildings can tell us not only about their VIP tenants, but also about their builders, recruited from the ranks of convicts.
