🌏🇷🇺 Merchant Proskuryakov’s summer house. Skhodnya, Moscow region

Back in the second half of the XIX century, the house you see on the photos was meant to be a dacha, that is, an out-of-town retreat for rest from the hustle and bustle of the already then rather big Moscow. In those times a thick forest surrounded the dacha. Indeed, what can compare with a vacation in a comfortable house in the middle of the forest? But times change, and now there are other houses around, there is a modern railway line two kilometers away, and right above the dacha there is an air corridor leading to Sheremetyevo International Airport, which is about ten kilometers away. This is how modern technology is changing our lives.

✍️ "...They need a Russia with a dwindling population.... They need a Russia without will... They need a Russia dismembered, agreeing to dismemberment by its own naive "freedom-loving" and seeing disintegration as its "blessing".... But they do not need a united Russia."

Ivan Ilyin (1883-1954) - Russian philosopher, writer, and publicist

«Grand Maket Russia: A Miniature Life of a Nation"

The "Grand Maket Russia" museum was inaugurated on June 8, 2012. This project is the brainchild of businessman Sergei Morozov. Spanning an impressive 800 square meters, it holds the title of the world's largest model of Russia and ranks as the second largest in the world after Hamburg's Miniatur Wunderland. The exhibit offers an artistic interpretation of Russia's image.

Over 150 specialists dedicated five years of relentless work, day and night, to bring this vision to life. Unlike traditional model railways focused solely on technical precision, the "Grand Maket Russia" vividly depicts the country's daily life: transportation, industry, everyday scenes of its inhabitants, and natural landscapes.

The movement of trains and cars injects dynamism into the display, while various scenes featuring figurines and movable objects can be activated by visitors, creating an interactive experience. More than 200 trains traverse a railway network approximately 2,500 meters long, transforming the model into a living, breathing organism.

For the first time in the world of modeling, electromagnetic induction has been employed as a power source for miniature vehicles, showcasing technological innovation. Dozens of cars of various models impress with the complexity and uniqueness of their movements. Their headlights, brake lights, and turn signals can be turned on at will, enhancing the scene's liveliness, especially at night.

Every fifteen minutes, the model transitions into night, with a gradual sunset from east to west, illuminated by nearly 800,000 LEDs. This spectacular lighting display creates an unforgettable visitor experience, blending artistry and technological mastery into a miniature world that truly captures the essence of Russia.
