  • The House of the Weeping Widow is an architectural landmark in the city of Kiev (Kyiv), capital of the Ukraine, located at 23 Luteranska St. Constructed in 1907 in the early Art Nouveau style by architect E. Bradtman, it was commissioned by Serhiy Arshavsky, a wealthy merchant from Poltava, who occupied it before the Bolshevik Revolution. The building kept its first owner's name long afterwards, and even today is sometimes referred to as the Serhiy Arshavskyi Building. Following the revolution it was occupied by the International Group Federation of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party. Currently it is one of the President of Ukraine's official residences, used to house state visitors, among them: U.S. Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice, and the Presidents of Lithuania and Brazil. The building earned its nickname because when it rains water pours over the woman's face on the facade, running down her cheeks like tears.
  • La Casa de la viuda llorona es un edificio famoso de la ciudad de Kiev, capital de Ucrania, situado en el número 23 de la calle Luteranska. Construido en 1907 en un estilo modernista temprano por el arquitecto E. Bradtman, como encargo de Serhiy Arshavsky, un acaudalado mercante de Poltava, quien lo ocupó hasta la Revolución bolchevique. El edificio mantuvo el nombre de su primer propietario hasta mucho tiempo después y incluso hoy en día es conocido a veces como el Edificio Serhiy Arshavskyi. Tras la revolución fue ocupado por el Grupo Internacional de la Federación del Comité Central del Partido Bolchevique. Actualmente es una de las residencias oficiales del Presidente de Ucrania, usado por huéspedes de otros países, entre ellos los secretarios de Estados Unidos Madeleine Albright y Condoleezza Rice y los presidentes de Lituania y Brasil. Otras residencias son la casa con quimeras y el palacio Mariyinsky. El edificio adquirió este sobrenombre porque cuando llueve el agua gotea sobre la cara de la mujer de la fachada, cayendo sobre sus mejillas como lágrimas.
