I need your help on this buidling project

matteo

I'm doing a paper on the russian expressionist architecture and i'm analyzing this project made by:
Vesnin Brothers, Design for Pravda building, 1923-24 in St. petersburg., Russia



What does the 15 on the top stand for? (i don't think it's a clock)
What is it written on the other billboards?

It's just curiosity, but it could help me to do a better analysis of this project.

the 15 stands for the number of times you will be flamed on here for not doing your own research.

the largest of the billboards reads, "matteo is a slacker."

i love russian expressionism though... good luck!

My research is already finished and well done.
i'm proud of my work and i'm not asking anyone to do my researches. Surely my mark won't change if i add those two couriosities i've asked.

But this 15 thing really gets on my nerves, i can not find anywhere an explanation of this graphic expression.

I'm quite confident that the Vesnin brothers wouldn't have written that things on those billboards just to write something, there must be a meaning.

Do you know what the "10/4AC" stands for? It looks like a clock to me. Did you bablefish the visible billboards?

it is a clock, liberty bell.

15:10 = 3:10pm
4ac ("chas") = "hour"
leningradskaya pravda = leningrad's truth

the first language comes in handy sometimes

Spasibo, chem.

I've been to Sverdlovsk! And another place too that sounds something like Verkhotury but I can't find on any map!

Spasibo.
