In Moscow, seven Stalinist skyscrapers were built, which became the calling cards of the capital, but initially there were supposed to be eight. From this video, you will learn why the territory of the modern Zaryadye Park was chosen for the eighth skyscraper, what the multi-story building was supposed to be, why it was important for Stalin and how Khrushchev "buried" the most luxurious skyscraper in the USSR near the Kremlin walls. And in this video, we will also tell you about the history of the construction of skyscraper number one - the main building of Moscow State University on Sparrow Hills, about the labor of prisoners and legends about evil spirits.
