The Church of the Emmaculate Reception

This isn't the best picture ever, but what you're looking at here is the infamous church across the street from the American Embassy in Moscow. The employees of the embassy refer to it by a number of humorous names (see above) on account of the fact that it hasn't held a service in decades, instead being owned by the state and at one point being encrusted with so many antennas that the bell tower was difficult to make out. Today it looks pretty run down and I didn't see anything that struck me as an obvious antenna. But who knows, maybe they just want you to think that they're not listening anymore.

Also, during lunch at the embassy cafeteria, they had the kitchen closed off for rennovation (where did our food get cooked??) and there was, at one point, the distinct sound of someone in there falling off a tall ladder and lots of moaning. Weird.
