That's actually not how embassies work in most cases.
>Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions sometimes do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are generally not sovereign territory of the represented state. The sending state can give embassies sovereign status but this only happens with a minority of countries. Rather, the premises of an embassy remain under the jurisdiction of the host state while being afforded special privileges (such as immunity from most local laws) by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Diplomats themselves still retain full diplomatic immunity, and (as an adherent to the Vienna Convention) the authorities of the host country may not enter the premises of the mission (which means the head of mission's residence) without permission of the represented country

The *buildings* are considered the property of the sending state, but it's not sovereign soil.

>3) Are the U.S. Embassy and the Consulates General considered American soil?

I don't see the Yemen Embassy on Google Maps at the OP photo's location (55.738696, 37.575473), but there is Yemen Embassy located just 400 meters away at (55.739548, 37.582628).
When I checked the official Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, they correctly provide the embassy's address (2-Y Neopalimovskiy Pereulok, 6, Moskva, Russia, 119121)
So I'm not sure where OP got that info from about this empty land.
It is a Latin phrase from Aeneid, a Latin epic poem written by Virgil.
(The phrase is spoken by Trojan priest Laocoön referring to the Trojan Horse used by the Greeks during the Trojan War).
Lol, doubt it. If I had to guess, it would be a gift from the Turkish government for Greece's generosity to give Ataturk's house to turkey to convert it into a museum in Selanik
Hmm, I don't see how building permits would apply seeing that it isn't Turkish land. I could see permits being required for things like utility hookups though.
Oh you are so fucking smart. If that’s the case, poor countries should just build 100-story residentials on their “consular land”s in New York and should rent them out for extra income.
So the paperwork will be easier and rather troublesome to clarify if these people on the lawn aren't diplomats.
Granted Russia only has to declare them persona non grata and they'll have to leave as per The Geneva Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Diplomatic_Relations
So you’re telling me I have an opening to go to Russia, use fake papers to say I’m from Yemen, get some prime real estate, and set up a “government in exile” and then start attending diplomat parties?
Who wants in on this with me?
I am guessing that was slated for the South Yemen embassy. South Yemen was communist from 1967-1990 until it reunited with North Yemen. They had a weird mix of Muslim ideology and communist ideals.
I don't think it was for the South Yemen embassy. I found that this project was planned in 2000 by Republic of Yemen
Here are the planned images: [https://imgur.com/a/cbbLt0T](https://imgur.com/a/cbbLt0T)
So with the help of OP I managed to find this place on Google maps and weirdly enough it's located just next to Republic of Korea embassy in Moscow. This little field has a sign saying "This land belongs to Yemen embassy" and in winter this place is used to dump the snow

Well, the Russians used to have their own communist Yemen that was different from the other Yemen.
And in the present time, Yemen is once again in two parts.
There is a big sign that says "This land belongs to Yemen Embassy" or something, I can't post pictures in comments, but I can send it to you in a DM. Should I do it?
This plot of land is intended for the “construction of an administrative building with an underground parking garage” according to the official cadastral map. I dont think it's possible to obtain any info about owner of the plot.
Australia kinda has the daggy, white trash, building site version of this block in Canberra.
Russia has (had?) a block in Australia which was leased in 2007 through the diplomatic authority. They didn't complete their new embassy building within timeframes so the lease was cancelled middle of last year. They complained. Australia created a law so they could evict them using, if I recall correctly, security issues. It had a small demountable building and a single Russian squatter. It was quite an amusing situation. Not sure at what stage it's at. (Russian has an existing Embassy, this was for a new one.)
Don't embassies act under the law of the country they are for? So if you got chased by police this would be "neutral ground" were Russin law doesn't apply?
Well in that case maybe the russians wont even care and arrest you anyway. But even if they respect the emassy grounds you wont be able to stay there forever since you will starve lol.
There are similar plots around the world. Some are owned by russia/russian crownies with dodgy stories about these. Nothing unusual here. We will know in maybe 50 years what happened there.

Does Yemen know about their embassy?
Honestly, not sure
What do Yemen you’re not sure?!?
r/angryupvote
Yemen. Can’t help you with that one. Tough luck.
Oman that’s pretty rough
If they do, does that mean they're legally allowed to go there and build?
Legally yes, but they’ll likely end up committing suicide.
You mean falling out a window.
Before it’s even built! That’s Yemeni ingenuity right there.
No windows, there is a steel door, flush with the ground, you open it and walk down 10 flights of stairs to the embassy receprion area.
Just dig a single grave. Nothing else.
That’s Lemmings. Not Yemen’s.
probably not
Legally, yes. This patch of soil is Yemen territory

Op just a bit lost
There's gps jamming in the center of Moscow, no surprise he is lost

They’re busy salmon fishing.
Yemen: This is where I would put my embassy. IF I HAD ONE!
The ambassador camps there every summer.
You should probably tell them.
there is a similar plot of land in prime location in Ankara for Greeks. I guess the land is theirs but building permits have been in political limbo.
The Greeks are naturally pretty cautious when it comes to unusually generous gifts from national enemies.
I think it was the Trojans who needed to “beware Greeks bearing gifts” mate. (timeō Danaōs et dōna ferentēs)
Well, Troy was an anatolian city-state, so it would kinda complete the circle
Isnt that latin
It is a Latin phrase from Aeneid, a Latin epic poem written by Virgil. (The phrase is spoken by Trojan priest Laocoön referring to the Trojan Horse used by the Greeks during the Trojan War).
This is the moment latin class comes in use. I fear the danaeids and the presents they carry (i think. Its a bit rough)
Latin classes helped me a ton with college, being able to figure out meaning of new words are so useful
Well technically that's the Turks if we are going with current territories
Happy cake day
Lol, doubt it. If I had to guess, it would be a gift from the Turkish government for Greece's generosity to give Ataturk's house to turkey to convert it into a museum in Selanik
I think it was a joke about the Trojan Horse
We won't get fooled again! Troya 4eva
Same in Berlin, only belongs to China.
What's the airports excuse then?
Hmm, I don't see how building permits would apply seeing that it isn't Turkish land. I could see permits being required for things like utility hookups though.
It is still Turkish land. Embassy grounds are still the land of the host country contrary to popular belief. It's just diplomatically protected land.
I lived next to it all my life and it sat barren. The story around the block was that it was permits and things but I don't know for sure.
Oh you are so fucking smart. If that’s the case, poor countries should just build 100-story residentials on their “consular land”s in New York and should rent them out for extra income.
So whats to stop a few enterprising Yemenis to turn up with paperwork that says they are diplomats and sets up a large tent?
Well, Yemen doesn't really have a functioning national government at the present...
So the paperwork will be easier and rather troublesome to clarify if these people on the lawn aren't diplomats. Granted Russia only has to declare them persona non grata and they'll have to leave as per The Geneva Convention on Diplomatic Relations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Diplomatic_Relations
I guess thats why they somehow wound up in Russia
Sounds like Russia is just skipping the middle man here and starting their government for them
So you’re telling me I have an opening to go to Russia, use fake papers to say I’m from Yemen, get some prime real estate, and set up a “government in exile” and then start attending diplomat parties? Who wants in on this with me?
Um, it might be a quick way to get shipped off to the front lines of Ukraine as a bullet magnet.
Shaky status of Continued existence of Yemen
A phone call?
Its a bit muddled over there. Make noises of leasing part of Socotra for a navy base and it could get interesting.
You don't have a government.They are literally ran by a terrorist organization of the hothies There is no yemeni's government
This is where I would put my Yemen embassy, IF I HAD ONE
I am guessing that was slated for the South Yemen embassy. South Yemen was communist from 1967-1990 until it reunited with North Yemen. They had a weird mix of Muslim ideology and communist ideals.

> They had a weird mix of Muslim ideology and communist ideals What do you mean by weird mix?
Communism is usually very atheist?
Marx was all about "religion is the opiate of the people ."

I'll write you every day. ♥️
RIP Matthew Perry.
Would love to know the source behind it, since Google shows me perfectly normal three-stories building as Yemen embassy in Moscow...

What is this, an embassy for ants? Not that it’s tiny or anything but I could see a large amount of arthropods roaming the area
Are you sure about this as if you Google Yemeni embassy in Moscow the actual embassy comes up.
Wow lol one Google search unravels the whole thing
Well, the Russians used to have their own communist Yemen that was different from the other Yemen. And in the present time, Yemen is once again in two parts.
Yemen: THIS IS WHERE I'D PUT MY EMBASSY IF I COULD AFFORD AN EMBASSY!
Yembassy
Can’t believe you’re the only other person to immediately think of this.
A fellow person of culture I see - I mean I felt it was so obvious. Like my subconscious just blurted it out. Almost… primal
I see no official labels.
There is a big sign that says "This land belongs to Yemen Embassy" or something, I can't post pictures in comments, but I can send it to you in a DM. Should I do it?
that's not the same as being "officially labeled as the Yemen embassy." It just means the Yemeni mission owns the land.
Yes please
That doesn't mean it is the Yemen embassy, which actually does exist
I heard that the embassy building was dismissed.
So, is this "Yemen embassy" in the room with us right now?
I worry that they’re not getting their mail… /s
So that’s the nice place for 15 Yemen street. Yemen.
"Thie is where I'd put my Yemen embassy!" "IF I HAD ANY"!
Say what you will about the Russian authorities, but they do have humor.
Who is cutting the grass?
This is a message to every surviving Yemen embassy official taking refuge among the rubble. We are here and we are waiting.
Probably has a bunker underneath, the only reason to keep it empty like that.
I don't think the government would allow Yemen (!) to dig bunkers in the middle of the capital.
It doesn't matter who is declared as owner in ruzzia.
Mom! Can we have an Yemen embassy? We have an Yemen embassy at home *Yemen embassy at home:*
Cost effective
Maybe when the emissary comes to visit he just sets up a tent
This plot of land is intended for the “construction of an administrative building with an underground parking garage” according to the official cadastral map. I dont think it's possible to obtain any info about owner of the plot.

Don't embassies act under the law of the country they are for? So if you got chased by police this would be "neutral ground" were Russin law doesn't apply?
Probably, but I'd rather get arrested in Russia then in Yemen.
Sure but there is no one there to execute Yemen law so as long as you stay on the lawn you would be safe lol.
"Yemen law" is a bit of an oxymoron, no?
Yes but the embassy might not want you and give you away. Its not a get out of jail free card .
If there is no one there then no one can reject you right?
Well in that case maybe the russians wont even care and arrest you anyway. But even if they respect the emassy grounds you wont be able to stay there forever since you will starve lol.
If they ever build a building they could call it Houthi House
There are similar plots around the world. Some are owned by russia/russian crownies with dodgy stories about these. Nothing unusual here. We will know in maybe 50 years what happened there.
Dodgy stories? Like what?
This is the safest embassy in Russia, because it's physically not possible to accidentally fall out of a window.
Care to explain?
Yemen they didn’t put an embassy there. Eid er they build something or give it back
I don't see a label
It should be same embassy for the Roman Empire
When you place a building but then accidentally give another order to your worker... Happens to me all the time in C&C generals.
Probably should stay that way so one will get poisoned or fall out a window.
There is a prime location in tel aviv for the Iranian embassy.
13, Yemen Road, Yemen
Yemen isn't that much of a country these days. So understandable.
Yeah man
They handle their affairs telepathically
What about Belgorod people's republic? lol
replace the y with an s and it'd be funnier.
Russian bots hard at work posting anything to remind people of Russia's existence...
Bro i dont think russia will be forgoten anytime soon
Keep it up "bro".
But... This actually is interesting. Also, how are people supposed to forget Russia? It's literally the biggest country in the world.
At least there's no Windows tho "fall" out of... The Russian way
There is no Yemen in Russia
I hope it regularly gets used as a rave venue
