Originally a gift from the Russian people to Warsaw, the Palace of Culture now is a colossal reminder of old times in a rapidly modernizing Warsaw.
In fact, it quickly acquired several nicknames that always had a negative connotation, like Puppet or Pekin. Even though there have been persistent proposals to tear the building down, especially since the end of a divided Europe, the Culture Palace has survived so far. And since the surrounding area has been a construction site for years, from which skyscrapers come up to join the Culture Palace as defining buildings for the Warsaw skyline, the buildling is becoming less ominous. More than anything, it is a curiosity for visitors, a contrast with the flashy modern design buildings surrounding it, a contrast between old and new times for Warsaw.
