A tall order

The weather isn't the only thing that's freezing in Russia right now. The Russia Tower - which was to be Europe's tallest building - planned for the Moscow International Business Centre, has been frozen due to the ongoing financial crisis....

Moscow was to play host to Europe's tallest building but its construction proved too tall an order during the credit crunch.

The billionaire developer behind the tower, Russian Land's Chief, Shalva Chigirinsky, said that the crisis had forced him to freeze work on a number of planned developments, one of which was the Russia Tower.

There are many building projects all across Russia that have been put on hold as the crisis continues to affect global markets.
