The really ugly (ridiculous) thing was in Moscow

I'm no fan of Speer's architecture. However the ugly (ridiculous) thing that I was referring to was:

It would have been the tallest building on Earth, the pride of the world's progressive people and the honored symbol of scientific socialism.

p.s. One of the few examples of Nazi architecture that still stands is the Deutsche Museum in Munich. Not too many people (including Germans) know this. The Deutsche Museum has some nice WW-II Luftwaft airplanes along with other military hardware. Definitely worth a visit. Also if you're in Munich, don't miss KZ-Dachau (another example of Nazi architecture).
