Near the venue of the "Davos Forum", countries and companies have set up bases for delegations to hold meetings and for business people to hold parties to build personal connections.
Until now, the Russian delegation has been based in a building called the "Russian House", but since Russia was not allowed to participate in the Davos Forum this time, Ukraine has given permission from the organizer to use this building. After getting it, I changed the name to "Russian War Crimes House" and used it.
