In the very heart of Moscow, the Central Telegraph building has remained a silent witness to epoch-making events for almost a century. Its walls remember the voices of revolutionaries, the crackle of telegraph machines and the whisper of the first radio broadcasts.
Today, when Moscow is rapidly changing, the Central Telegraph is preparing for a new round of its history. In 2027, a new campus of the Central University will open there, created with the support of more than 50 of the largest companies in Russia. Restoration work has already begun.
What do its ancient walls hide? For whom has the telegraph become a communal service? And how do restorers bring back to life a legend that continues to connect the past and the future? We talk about the rich history of the building on Tverskaya in cards.
