Such a beautiful and obvious lie. That is the capital city's motto. Расте, но не старее. It grows, but it does not age / get old / grow old. A bold and pointless claim in the face of time.
This emblem does look kind of nice with the aging effects, though. I wouldn't have paid attention to it, were it new.
I took a snapshot of it while walking to the centrum today, bound to buy even more new books. And some drawing and painting materials for the young generation in our town. But that's another story, altogether.
There's a pretty logical theory about the European kind of city as the ultimate economic model of financial (but sadly, only that) sustainability. See, if you live in the American dream kind of a suburban area with lots of car lane milage and houses with lawns in front and back... eventually, you'll get to a point where you can't pay the modern day's price for the maintenance of what you would have built about 4 or 5 decades ago... because there would be too few households paying taxes for such a vast surface area. So, infrastructure shall at some point get into trouble.
Of course, due to corruption and bad prioritizing, such problems could also arise in those European cities, as well, even though you would be in your right to expect that the taxes of the densely packed population would be enough.
Well, few people think about amortization before it bumps into their present.
It doesn't get old.
