2013 Fire
On April 3, 2013, the Grozny-City Towers Facade Clocks in Grozny, Chechnya, Russia caught fire and one side of the 40-story building was engulfed in flames, which burned for approximately 8 hours. No one was injured or killed in the blaze. More than 100 firefighters and 16 fire engines fought the blaze. The building known locally as "Olympus" housed a 5 star luxury hotel and an apartment belonging to French film star and French tax exile Gérard Depardieu, whose apartment was on the 27th floor facing the "Heart of Grozny." The structure's interior survived largely intact however and has been fully repaired and reopened as of 2015.
