Perlov's Tea House (Чайный дом Перлова), a strange Chinese-style house on Myasnitskaya Street (ul. Myasnitskaya, 19)
Sergey Vasilyevich Perlov, a prominent Moscow tea merchant in the 19th-20th century, founded his own tea trade firm, "Sergey Vasilyevich Perlov and Co.," after leaving a partnership with his brother. In 1890-1893, he commissioned architect Roman Klein to build a 3-story stone building on Myasnitskaya Street. The structure featured a tea shop and packing facility on the first floor, while the upper floors contained both Perlov's living space and rental apartments. In 1896, during the visit of Chinese official Li Hongzhang for Nicholas II's coronation, Perlov hoped to impress by altering the building's facades into a Chinese architectural style. He enlisted architect Karl Gippius for the task and adorned the interior with his collection of Chinese art. Though Li Hongzhang did not stay there, the distinctive "Chinese house" design symbolized Perlov's tea trading company, enhancing its reputation and recognition.

Ich meinte ausschließlich RAF-Angriffe (nicht Rote Armee Fraktion) gemäß der moralischen und bombigen Flächen-Direktive.
Probably Pillau, though I'm not sure. The RAF took some aerial photos of the city and the surrounding airfields but it is still unclear if they are involved in the city's destruction.
