From Stalin's Elite to Modern Russians: Life in the Seven Sisters Skyscrapers

[@jadenephrite]

Thank you for your video tour. Regarding 2:53, for those who are unfamiliar, that urn on top of the kitchen cabinet is a "Samovar" which is a heating vessel used to boil water for making hot tea.

Thank you!!

Super! The rental price range is what you would pay for an ordinary "commoner" (i.e., not the elite members of society) apartment on one of the coasts. You certainly get much more space and quality for your money in Moscow.

more videos and city views just like this...

[@annaexplains]

I loved filming this too. Thank you!

Can you see the playidies from the viewpoint/roof?

But the lodgins in this "skyscraper" is very expensive...like everywhere in the center of Moscow

Imagine the government building these 7 buildings at the same time 30 million families were just homeless because of the second world war . But if World War II had never happened there would be nothing to stop Stalin from building the largest building in Europe with the largest statue on top.

This is such a lame take. These buildings are a work of art and a symbol of the city that will last long after we`re gone. There were actually "Stalinki" apartment buildings built during this period. Some were just shit but for the most part they were better than what came before them and are nice even by today`s standards. My city (Sofia, Bulgaria) has surviving Stalinki buildings and they are beautiful with common green spaces between them. Much better than the current for profit sterile garbage we build and I say this as a civil engineer.
