Novosibirsk architecture

A quick round up of notable buildings in the city then, starting with the classic opera house,
A real Russian opera house
and moving on to this marvel in 'Akademgorodok', a city of universities including crumbling buildings housing excellent scientists - a relic of some of the best of Soviet days - but also buildings showing new ambition, and new confidence:
A techno park. How did you guess?
And on to something moving, albeit stationary. A classic railway station, with a statue of families waving goodbye during the war. A terribly large number of people left for war through this station, and a horribly small proportion returned.
