Does anyone here know where I can find a larger picture of the proposed Palace of the Soviets? I know there were a few proposals, but I'm talking about the most famous one:
 I'd like to have something large enough that I can use for my desktop background and won't appear all stretchy or compressed (my desktop is set at 1280X800, but even if it's a bit smaller, it shouldn't matter too much). If it could be a larger, color version of that picture above, so that one can see clearly the parade with the red flags at the bottom and all the details on the building, that would be even better, but I'd be happy as long as I have something that shows the scale and magnitude of the project, and that I can also use for my desktop background. Edit: I did find one here. It's black and white and a bit worn, but it should work. If anyone can find a better one, though, that would be greatly appreciated. “Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals” - Mark Twain

Are there any good pictures of it except that stamp?
