It's still used for telephone stuff, so some people work up there, but where the café used to be, it's all taken out. I saw a documentary about it recently. There has been interest to re-open it but it has only a small elevator, and they would need a second way for people to get down in case of fire, and it is all expensive and they don't expect enough people to come visit to pay for it all.
In Poland we say that kids served for this purpose back then. ;D
LOL!
There was an old Polish joke that in Soviets they had three. One - Comrade Brezhnev gives a speech. Second - Comrade Brezhnev gives a speech. Third - a little man wags a finger and says "I'll teach you switching, you there." ;)
Hehe, that's a good one as well!
I remember when Brezhnev died. Instead of the usual children programme that sent us to sleep in the evening - the Sandman - we got boring classic music.
