Unlike of many media, computer games have not been banned in Russia”, – said the authors of the project.
A room stylized as a typical place in a post-Soviet city – in one of the basements under eternal fire, reports in Russian are posted on the walls, became available on May 2 .It has been opened more than two thousand times.
