I'd call it gaudy and tasteless.

But the thing that killed me the most was the price of 1km of highway in Russia - 135'000'000 EUR

Amazing, considering that until 1936 there was no private automobile ownership in Russia until Alexei Stakhanov received this car as a gift for setting a record by mining 227 tonnes of coal in a single shift.

I guess then my question is, why don't they help the poverty stricken country and put all that money to better use and help their youth and economy? That's a lot of cash probably going to the wrong people.
