Wouldn't the name of this building be better rendered as 'The Faceted Palace'? First of all this would conform more closely to the Russian title (I.e., adjective first, noun second). Secondly, the building is not made of facets, nor is it full of facets. It is simply a palace that just happens to be named after one of it's many features. 'Palace of Facets' places too much emphasis on the facets, which are a minor cosmetic feature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.157.72.38 (talk) 02:33, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
