2013 fire[]
On April 3, 2013, the Grozny-City Towers Facade Clocks in Grozny, Chechnya, Russia caught fire and one side of the 40-story building[1] was engulfed in flames. No one was injured or killed in the blaze. More than 100 firefighters and 16 fire engines fought the blaze.[2] The building known locally as "Olympus" housed a 5 star luxury hotel and an apartment belonging to French film star and French tax exile Gérard Depardieu, whose apartment was on the 27th floor facing the "Heart of Grozny."[3]
The structure's interior survived largely intact however and has been fully repaired and reopened as of 2015.
