I spent several years taking buses to my little town from the bus station in front of Angstrem building, which is a remarkably long parallelepiped (the picture shows maybe 1/10th of the building, it is least half a km long), with many friends of my family having worked there in the waning Soviet era days. Angstrem and many other organizations in Zelenograd was a high-tech facility for the time and the place, and yet already far behind the western time. Zelenograd was designed as an answer to Silicon Valley and for a while it was. Obviously that all failed.
