Science Academy


The highrise building on the left is a Latvian Academy of Sciences - the tallest on the right bank of Daugava. Built under Soviet claw.

OK:) There were few "sister" high rises (very similar to each other) built during Soviet era in Soviet Block countries and Republics, but just three outside Russia - Warsaw, Kiev and Riga.

You should have given more info about what that building is! People from Warsaw would surely recognise it!
