The Kudrinskaya Square Building is a building in Moscow, one of seven Stalinist skyscrapers, designed by Mikhail Posokhin[1] and Ashot Mndoyants.[2]
Features
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 Russians.[4]
