White House, Government building in Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow, Russia
The Russian White House rises 119 meters along the Moscow River, featuring white marble walls and a red granite base strip.
During the 1993 constitutional crisis, the building sustained heavy artillery damage, requiring extensive repairs that exceeded the original construction costs.
The building represents Soviet Modernist architecture through its monumental design, prefabricated reinforced concrete structure, and geometric patterns.
The structure contains 172,700 square meters of space, including 27 conference halls and meeting rooms for governmental operations.
Underground levels beneath the White House contain technical facilities, leading to speculations about connections to a secret metro system.
