See the ring of boxes in the middle of the fountain? Waterproof loudspeakers! Not sure what the tune is though,.,,, please leave a comment if you can ID it, tks :-) Gorky Park or Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure founded in 1928 and it stretches out on about 100 hectares. Gorky Park is one of the largest amusement parks in Europe. The chief architect of the Central Park of Culture and Leisure plan was the avaunt-garde architect Constantine Melnikov, who conducted in the late 20-ies of XX century parterre style layout of the park from the park's entry to the Neskuchny Garden. In the XVIII century, on the future park territory, there was located the Neskushnoe estate owned by Prokofy Demidov. It was very famous not only for its majestic buildings, mansions in the best traditions of the time, but also a magnificent botanical garden. In this garden, according to some reports, there were several thousand different plant species. Even then, the place was quite a popular holiday destination, accessible, however, only the upper class. Later on, Demidov sold his property by parts, and its owners were several people at once. As a result, to this day remain only a few buildings which were located on the mansion land. http://www.i-love-moscow.com/gorky-park.html
