Across Moscow, there are seven of these buildings that were built during post WWII ‘Stalinist’ style, known as the ‘Seven Sisters of Stalin‘. A mixture of official buildings (including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), the Moscow State University, and a collection of residential apartments and hotels, these buildings are littered across Moscow. They were all built between 1947 and the mid-1950’s. They are really striking as they are built in a mix of gothic and Russian Baroque styles.

This particular one, which I think is the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building, is a residential building overlooking the river. It’s quite an overwhelming building as you walk across one of the many bridges across central Moscow.
