Front running a steadily moving train of Russian foreign politic, the Western corporate media announced the possibility of 35 American diplomats being expelled from Russia and barring all who remain from using two properties, one is an industrial size warehouse, and another referred to as a “wooded picnic area.”
If you think that a “wooded picnic area” means a couple of tables and a barbecue grill in a park, you wouldn’t be far off, with only one exception… This grill is set up in a middle of a large compound on the Moscow river island called Silver Forest (Serebryany Bor) in the midst of 200 year old trees.
Serebryannuy Bor, the famous pine forest in the north west of Moscow.

On this piece of prime Moscow real estate, a 400 square meter parcel costs more than a big island off Miami coast. It is also a 15 minutes drive from the Kremlin.

As for the US Silver Forest compound, very little is known about it. At some point, President Nixon stayed there. Currently, the US compound’s neighbors include the residence of the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, the house of the Lukoil company founder, and a retreat for members of Russian Parliament. The wiki map has it marked here and here, but it doesn’t provide any images.

On the other hand, two Russian properties in the US have been videotaped multiple times.

Obama makes it even worse right before delivering to Trump

Beautiful!
Happy new year to you all! From Rio…
Many thanks for teaching me, The Saker and all people who comment.
I’ve almost get crazy. The truth hurts a lot and that’s why most people simply don’t want to know.
…
Truth is clarity that the soul demands Brother. It perhaps hurts for our three dimensional perspective but is nourishment for the essence of our beings. One cannot move toward the ultimate goal unless one sees Truth. No? Cheers.
Obama: Russian’s and their kids, get out!
Putin: We won’t go there. In fact, you guys can stay for the Christmas and New Years party.
Who looks like a complete a-hole in this picture?
both are.
putin shouldnt pamper the american scum. it is an insult to all the victims of said scum.
putin is rewarding criminal behavior.
Thank you Scott&Saker for some pretty places….and, might I apologise dear Russian people and others for all the trouble&distress we have been over the years.
Putin & team have done it right again….The US is not their fight….To be able to say we are not that and move on (if possible) is life itself….
Just maybe the Evil Empire has fallen at last with as little external pain as possible – except for the toadies rushing to attach themselves to greatness over their horizons, and of course for their own internal ruptured organs….
….Best wishes all for ’17 and beyond….
the american empire is just the current face of the western empire.
2 billion people fell victim to the western empire since its inception.
to say, ‘the evil empire has fallen with little external pain as possible’
is a sick joke.
Nice property. I hope it is converted into a museum of American imperialism.
Thank you Scott.
The Russsinas don’t lower themselves to that level – they rise above.
Looks lovely – yes its says it all how everyone else’s properties are well photographed but not the US vacation homes.
Something to bring a smile to you, Saker and Baaz on this first day of 2017:

Never a truer thing said by Poroshenko………whilst he stands with mad McCain, Graham and some woman called Amy Klobuchar…….
Scott, Your Silver Forest in Moscow looks very nice – but you’ve got a bit of jello on your quadcopter – or maybe it was simply very turbulent and windy – otherwise very good effort – Beautiful – excellent photography – but why the hell did you Russians give Your Silver Forest in Moscow – to the Bloody Americans?
I know you may have been infested with Bolsheviks – but that is no excuse. Us English in England have too (and still are) and the poor American people. They are commonly known as Neocons now.
But We didn’t give Our Richmond Park (London) exclusive access – even to our Royal Family – let alone any of you American or Russians
I think you guys may have been doing something wrong.
(I am not going to post my own photography of Richmond Park – though to be honest the vast majority of tourists do not get in the way…because hardly any of you will walk for more than a minute from the Free Car Parks
Please don’t tell the Americans – but if you do chuck ’em out from your Silver Forest in Moscow – can you please invite my wife and family (she’s a Princess seriously – and so is my Daughter its an old Lancashire Great Great Grandmother tale – but so old its probably true. When I met my wife’s relations nearly 50 years ago = they were already nearly 100 years old(I exaggerate slightly but by less than 50% – and both old girls insisted that King Henry VIII was their Great …great etc Grandad). Well if I was King Henry VIII I think I would – Beautiful – Russian Class. Not like American Girls. Beautiful, Refined – although Rural Lancashire Girls – even in Their 80’s.
Happy New Year – even to you stupid Americans.
God – You were Rubbish in 2016. Must Try Harder.
Outclassed by Russians. They were Brilliant. You were Crap.

Americans the fuck out of Serebranniy Bor! – A deplorable and irredeemable who knows them!
The best of them are snakes.
