The photography is gorgeous, as are the subjects. But, yes, no doubt there are areas less than picturesque.
If you have seen the Bourne trilogy, I think it's the last one where Bourne travels to Moscow to visit the daughter of the man and woman who were his very first "hit"...and she lives in a very tall bland government "projects" building. The architecture in Europe is just so much more beautiful than anything here in America. Certainly beats anything down in niglanta. The Fox Theater is beautiful on the inside, but so many of the older buildings have been torn down over the years.

The Bourne Trilogy
Slightly off topic but...if you have not seen The Bourne Trilogy: The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum, you have missed probably the best spy/thriller series ever made.
I had never seen them, of course, because I never go to the movies anymore. I found them at Goodwill stores and they looked intriguing. I love them!!! I watch the series about once a month and never get bored. Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne, a government assassin who has amnesia at the beginning of the series. If you watch them, watch them in the order I listed them above. The action is real, not CGI, and the tension never lets up. One of the best things about this series is that there are a lot of characters in each movie and there is not ONE nigger in any position of authority. There are a couple of nigs who are "assets" i.e. other government killers who are after Bourne. But there are NO niggers as bosses or anyone important and it is so refreshing. All three movies take place mostly all over Europe. And, yes, the scenes that are supposed to be in Moscow really are in Moscow. When you watch the special features, Damon talks about how cold it was when they were filming in Moscow. There is a girl Bourne meets in the first film who I like too. I had never seen her before. If you have not seen this series, go to Goodwill and you will find these movies. Every time I go, I find one or more of them. Get the widescreen version if you can of course. I don't usually gush over movies, but these are excellent films.

From The Сity of Moscow / Город Москва
(The Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy is the largest exposition, museum and recreational complex in the world, one of the most popular public spaces of the capital city of Russia. Each year, it is visited by about 25 million people. The Exhibition was opened on 1 August 1939. Its name has changed several times (VSHV, VPV, VDNH USSR, VVC). In the spring of 2014, the Moscow Government launched a large-scale project to revive VDNH, in honour of the 75th Anniversary of the Country's Main Exhibition. At the initiative of the Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin, and based on the results of e-voting by city residents, the complex was returned its legendary historical name of the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy.)
