If the pictures are real, they've been photoshopped enough to make HDR look like tintypes.

Chopper on googlemaps in Moscow?

I checked googlemaps for "Panki-Tomilino", and look what I found at 55.66733,37.932057
To me it looks like the chopper described above.
Maybe this is the location of the Moscow openair museum?

For the record, even if it is real--that all-white glossy plastic furniture in the rooms is not what I would call "five-star." Luxury, indeed.

Yes, that's the one in the museum, I recognize the landscaping around it from the pictures.
