Moscú (Москва)

The "Seven Sisters" is the English name given to a group of Moscow

skyscrapers designed in the Stalinist style. Muscovites call them

Vysotki or Stalinskie Vysotki (Russian: Сталинские высотки),

"(Stalin's) high-rises". They were built from 1947 to 1953,[1] in an

elaborate combination of Russian Baroque and Gothic styles, and the

technology used in building American skyscrapers.

The seven are: Hotel Ukraina, Kotelnicheskaya Embankment

Apartments, the Kudrinskaya Square Building, the Hotel

Leningradskaya, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the main building of the

Moscow State University, and the Red Gates Administrative Building.

Similar buildings exist in other former Communist countries, but the only

comparable[clarification needed] Soviet-designed skyscraper is the

Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
