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!

I would like to remind you that USA is currently inflicting a holodomor of it's own on Cuba.
Trump is not yet as bloody as Stalin, but he's pulling in the same direction, shadowing him every day.

The Turning Point by Otto Lacis
When farmers lease plots of land in abandoned villages today, the state of desolation they find there is amazing. Those villages are found in areas that were occupied by the enemy during the war and also in regions that the enemy did not reach. The desolation and neglect have nothing to do with the war. They were caused by the Great Turn imposed on the nation by Stalin—the turn that crushed the peasants’ initiative, diligence and desire to work.

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

Compared to the #Czars #Lenin was a competent and a nice guy, sadly for all Russians, he was an arrogant bastard, and #Trotsky even more so. Lenin looked down on the peasants, Trotsky looked down on the peasants AND the #proletariat . #Lenin gave all party members perks that began to corrupt the ideology, and #Stalin used those perks to gain loyalty from people with loose belief in #communism . Trotsky would have been the right man for the job, but wasn't the best at gaining and holding power. Communism would have been somewhat repressive but no where near the terror and brutality and death that it was under Stalin, with deaths that dwarfed most czars, and 3% of the population was incarcerated.. After that all new socialist nations were forced due to trade embargoes by the west to become Stalinist instead of a more democratic system. This only ended once Stalin Died and places like Chile, Vietnam, Cuba and Laos aimed to be democratic, but with all the American backed coups and embargoes, this was not to be sadly.

"Of course Stalin didn't perform genocide! But also, the Poles, Finns, Koreans, Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, Baltic nations, and Central Asian peoples had it coming!"
