Description
This famous landmark in downtown Moscow was the headquarters of the KGB. In Soviet times, there used to be a friendly, reassuring sign out front that read: Citizens admitted round the clock.
The original was 12 megapixels, over which I placed a giant matrix consisting of variations of КГБ. It can't be seen in this downsized, compressed version, but I plan to post a detail tomorrow.
Thanks for having a look!

I bet you know how the KGB is related to the KPCC-b (not the real Cyrillic just similar as Roman).
