A vertical, forensic examination of a severely dilapidated urban wall or entrance in Moscow, Russia, reveals a composition of weathered materials and urban decay during cold weather

A vertical, forensic examination of a severely dilapidated urban wall or entrance in Moscow, Russia, reveals a composition of weathered materials and urban decay during cold weather. The predominant surface consists of vertical wooden planks, heavily discolored with peeling, faded reddish-brown paint. Above the mid-line, a horizontal dark gray panel displays multiple graffiti tags, including a partially obscured "Quier," and two affixed stickers: one depicting a stylized yellow-faced figure with a dark cowl, and another showing a small red house. Below this panel, the underlying wooden structure is exposed and damaged. Across the mid-section, a horizontal wooden beam supports a small, rectangular object covered in a mosaic of irregular white and dark blue/black tiles. Both this mosaic object and the beam are topped with a thin layer of white snow. Below the beam, a significant section of the structure is damaged and repaired with an irregularly shaped piece of light brown particle board, secured with nails. This board features a prominent black graffiti tag, "Samo," with an arrow pointing right. To the immediate left of this board, a vertical series of small, circular, silver buttons or lights, resembling an old elevator control panel, is exposed within the damaged structure. The lower left portion reveals further deteriorated and exposed dark, textured material. The presence of snow indicates ambient temperatures below freezing.
