Does anyone know if there has been any progress to the rebuilding of the 'Lower Datcha' at Peterhof?

No progress. The rebuilding of the Lower Dacha is a victim of the crisis.

Thank ypu  Vladimir. Gatchna is one of my favourite pakaces.  I enjoy visiting it,  watch the restoration go apace.

New director of the Gatchina Palace is very active. I think we see interesting exhibitions and projects in this year.
