Misha falls in love with two pieces of Manhattan architecture while living in America that he names Lionya and Gavril. What are the pieces of architecture and how do they symbolize Misha's concept of the American Dream?

In terms of the American Dream I am assuming its a "nuclear family with a nice house and nice car"

Lionya and Gavril were the Twin Towers of The World Trade Center. They served as a symbol of invincibility, and he would talk to them when he felt lonely.
