RIA Novisti reported last fall:
"The Russian government spent 21 billion rubles ($681
million) on the restoration [of the Bolshoi Theatre], which involved more than
3,600 designers, builders and engineers."
Cost too much? Took too long? Perhaps.
But anyone who takes a casual look at it can see that they
skimped on the painters or the paint for perhaps the most visible parts of the
Theater: the columns.
Take a look. The
columns look in part like old, blotched, white skin. Probably an extra $681
would have covered the painting and cheap labor costs. Does the management have
poor eyesight?
