The skyscraper has 22 levels in its central part and is 160 metres (520 ft) tall. It is topped by a 30-metre spire which ends with a five-pointed star. Lateral towers are lower than the central one.

History

The skyscraper was laid down in 1950 and completed in 1954.[3] It was the last of the Seven Sisters to be completed.

Its apartments were originally intended for the political elite of the former USSR; they are currently inhabited by wealthy and stylish Russians.[4]
