Sberbank, Tinkoff: +79168322113 The main Soviet architectural utopia, the grandiose Palace of Soviets, for which the Cathedral of Christ the Savior was blown up, a huge house-city, three times higher than Stalin's skyscrapers - this most magnificent project in the history of the USSR was never implemented. What was it, who and why conceived this project, what was this colossus supposed to look like and what other projects fought for the right to be the largest construction site in the country? Where did the photocell doors and high-speed elevators come from in the project of that time? What would the interior of a giant look like, for which curtains were woven and furniture was assembled in advance? What powerful propaganda campaign surrounded the construction of the largest building in the world at that time? Where in Moscow can you still see the shadows of the Palace that was never built? And most interestingly, what would today's Moscow look like if the 420-meter giant tower had been built on the site of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
