Moscow. We went to a meeting at the ARKHING (АРХИНЖ) architectural studio, which is known for its more rigorous designs. They didn’t give much freedom in their work, and getting into their studio was quite difficult. They had a strict entry and exit system, and we had to register in advance, even showing our passports. The security guard looked very stern—bald, large, and reminiscent of a mobster, but he turned out to be a friendly guy.
He asked us which company we were from, and we replied, “STORAKET.” At that time, we weren’t registered in Russia and didn’t even have a representative there. When we looked at the registration form, we noticed that instead of STORAKET, it was written as 100 RAKET (сто ракет).
