Seven Sisters, Stalinist skyscrapers in Moscow, Russia

The Seven Sisters form a collection of seven monumental buildings constructed between 1947 and 1953, reaching heights from 133 to 240 meters across Moscow.

The skyscrapers were built under Stalin's direction to rival Manhattan's architecture and demonstrate Soviet power during the post-World War II reconstruction period.

Moscow State University, Hotel Ukraina, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs buildings incorporate Gothic elements, spires, and decorative details representing Soviet architectural style.

Two of the buildings function as hotels, while others contain residential apartments, government offices, and educational facilities with direct connections to public transportation.

The construction of these buildings required advanced engineering solutions, including the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze soil for foundation stability.
