Hello. This isn't a question about russian language exactly, its a question bout where to ask a question. sorry.

I am researching, as well as possible, soviet architecture (functionalism exactly), the its conservation. Does anyone know of where on the internet i might find information on the subject of precast concrete residential blocks in russian or english? Or of a group which might know on LJ?

also, a simple question but one that i have never gotten an answer for....would one use "на интернете" for on the internet, or "в интернете?" Yes, yes, everyone laugh.

Thank you.

p.s. anyone know anyone who speaks russian in Edinburgh?

В интернете. As soon as you'd hear "на интернете" you'd know it was a Russian American (this form was widely used between emigres -- because they were introduced to the Internet a couple of years earlier than the Russians in Russia, and thus had to invent their own expression, heavily influenced by English.)
В интернете, nevertheless, more correct grammatically, since Internet is a network conglomerate; "network" or "the Web" is сеть in Russian, and "on the Web" would be "в сети," not "на сети".

As for your main question, I haven't find any Russian-speaking architecture communities within the LiveJournal. Did you try the Russian Architecture Portal (http://archi.ru/)? They also have a forum (http://archi.ru/forum/) (seemingly in Russian only, though.)

you could browse http://www.mymetro.ru (navigation is in russian) to see the architecture of subway stations, especially the old ones

"В интернете" is more common, but there are some people who like to say it "на интернете", like in English. Not all of them are Russian American.
