Russia will remove a big building in the centre of Moscow. It looks like a Louis Vuitton (LV) suitcase. It is nine metres high and 30 metres long. It has LV logos on it and two giant Russian flags on one side. LV built it for a 6-week exhibition of its luggage. It was also for the company's 150th birthday. Louis Vuitton workers are sad. LV had permission for the building and inspectors checked it many times before the builders finished it.
The suitcase was unpopular with Russians. They couldn't understand why it was in Red Square, next to Lenin's tomb. Red Square is "a sacred place" for Russians. A Moscow man said it was embarrassing for Russia. He said: "All we think about is business." He added it was shocking because most Russians did not have money to buy a LV bag. The exhibition may go to another part of Moscow. Money from it will go to a children's charity.
