Tallest ‘Stalinist’ Skyscrapers of the former Soviet Bloc
Identified below by order of height are “Stalinist” empire style skyscrapers that were built in the former Soviet Union. and its satellite nations. Most of these were begun in the late 1940s and 1950s, while Joseph Stalin was still alive, though one, Triumph Palace, represents a rebirth of the Stalinism style from the early 2000s.
Seven Sisters of Moscow – reddit.comThe skyscrapers with an asterisk (*) before them are the famous Seven Sisters of Stalin’s Empire Style Architecture built in Moscow. Two others were planned, but never built, including what would have been the tallest building in the world at the time – The Palace of the Soviets.
Source: amazon.comDesign characteristics of “Stalinist” empire style of architecture include, but are not limited to the following:
- Monumental design including tall spires
- Strict symmetry
- Abundant decoration
- Expensive natural materials
- Palatial interiors
- Combination of neoclassical and art deco styles
- Ornamental features such as stars, hammer & sickle, etc.
Regardless of one’s opinions of Stalin and his policies, these towering structures are immensely impressive and quite breathtaking. Compared to so many bland, boxy skyscrapers proliferating the planet, these high-rise edifices succeed in adding character and a touch of panache to the cities where they are located in a manner that enhances their surroundings. If only more early post-WWII architectural trends had done the same, many dullish city skylines would have been more visually entertaining during the Cold War era.
Peace/Mir!

"[S]ix million people were sent to the #Soviet #Gulag. A quarter did not survive. Another 16-17 million were transported to strict regime #laborcamps, where the death rate was around 10%.
Within these numbers are the names of tens of thousands of #Jews of every kind, from the devout #hassid to the #assimilated #Communist.
#Stalin’s rule was fortified by spies who believed that they were repairing the world and saving it from the ravages of #fascism. The most effective of these were five young idealists who were at #CambridgeUniversity in the 1930s and who bore witness to the rise of #Hitler and the march of #Nazism across Europe.
#TheCambridgeFive: #GuyBurgess, #DonaldMcLean, #KimPhilby, #AnthonyBlunt, and #JohnCairncross sold their collective soul to Stalin.

Lo #sbarco delle truppe alleate sulle coste della #Normandia rappresentò una svolta decisiva verso la liberazione dal #nazismo. Tuttavia, la sua complessa preparazione mise a dura prova la cosiddetta Grande Alleanza e la questione dell'apertura di un secondo fronte in Europa divenne una costante fonte di tensioni, alimentando la profonda diffidenza di #Stalin nei confronti di #Roosevelt e #Churchill.

Disarray: Alarm inside #Pentagon after #Hegseth staff purges
Since #Trump’s first term, they have been viewed comfortingly as the “adults in the room,” a last line of defense against the impulsive whims of a president with access to the #nuclear codes.
After unprecedented wave of #firings that has been compared to #Stalin’s purges, Pentagon top brass no longer seem like such a reliable bulwark

Lo #sbarco delle truppe alleate in #Normandia il #6giugno 1944 segnò una svolta nella Seconda #guerra mondiale verso la liberazione dell’Europa dal #nazismo. Secondo l'articolo di #NAD l’apertura di un secondo fronte in #Europa fu una costante fonte di attriti che alimentò la radicata diffidenza di #Stalin verso Roosevelt e Churchill. Le celebrazioni dello scorso anno, a 80 anni di distanza, si intrecciano con le tensioni scaturite dalla guerra in #Ucraina.

Abrechnung mit Stalin - Schostakowitschs 10. Sinfonie im Leipziger Gewandhaus
Es war nicht das erste Mal, daß ich die 10. Sinfonie von Dmitrij Schostakowitsch im Konzert erlebte. Als ich sie aber im Großen Konzert des Gewandhauses am 12. Januar 2024 hörte, ging sie mir so nahe, als sei es das erste Mal gewesen.
