It ain't no sky scraper, but just a tall building. I googled it, and it's like a minimi version. In my native language, German, it's even just called a Hochhaus (high/tall house), not Wolkenkratzer (sky scraper).
06:41 Those people are TV crews and journalists. Russia had expelled Czech, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian diplomats in retaliation to those countries expelling Russian diplomats.

I'm from Poland and we have such a skyscpraper in Warsaw(capital) and it was actually given to Poland by Stalin. It's called "Palace of Culture and Science"
@@kunsthooligan_vegan nobody though about that... And I am not sure, if it is proven... Because it could also have been the Germans... I do not think, that the Nazis had an interest to have the USSR in good light....
@@rownicki01 how? Where? Do you have historians, who dealt with the documents for me you would recommend? But only who dealt with archives and documents...
Really liking the Moscow content. Seeing the provinces with Bald is cool but I feel like there's not much on the big cities in Russia on RUclips and you're doing great here. Would be interested to see you in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Vladivostok etc.
I’d like to see Roman in some of the republic cities in Russia such as Kazan, Grozny, Ufa, Makhachkala, Elista etc. Great to see all the local cultures mixed with Russian and Soviet architecture too.
Magnificent Moscow I have been there twice and it’s should be a must do on people’s travel lists. Get there if you can. You can have a meal in the Radisson’s restaurant to get to see inside a Stalin Skyscraper and it was spectacular. Thanks Roman for this Vlog excellent. Cheers from Australia
I am really surprised. The architecture in Moscow looks a lot like parts of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. That American city was build mostly by Polish immigrants. Thank you so much for showing us this. I loved seeing the city.
I remember years ago when people were complaining about our freeway system the wrestling governor once commented that “Minneapolis and St Paul were designed by drunk Polish people.” Those were his words. I know that we had a very high Polish population. It would be interesting to learn who the architects were who built most of those buildings. It freaky now to think that they look Soviet.
I did some research and it turns out that the buildings in Mn and St Paul built in the 1920-40’s were build following a Eastern European/ Austria/Germany style. The architects were American, but that was the tread during that era.
As a native New Yorker, those buildings definitely take a ton of influence from the Manhattan municipal building, no doubt. It's a beautiful building, as are these. The Moscow metro though, that's a masterpiece all its own. Great video as always Roman. Keep up the great work!
@@SihirbazTsar55 They're all Art Deco style buildings in a similar vein. Manhattan Municipal is one of the earliest in that style, it influenced a lot of the ones built afterwards. Construction began on it in 1909 and was completed in 1914.
17:42 there's a scene in Polish classic comedy movie in which that building is being sold and when they ask the buyers what they are planning next they say "we are going to a place where there's more buildings like this" and they show photographs of all "Seven Sisters"
To put it very short: Stalinka - stupidly expencive, don't even think about it, are you a billionere? Khruschevka - Oh, my babushka used to live in one of those. Brezhnevka - Same as the previous one, but babushka was a little richer.
@@ButterDog42069 What does Brezhnevka have to do with being richer? They just started being built ten years later and were slightly improved, but they were still being given to workers just like the Khrushchevkas before them. Babushkas didn't buy them, they got them for their labor. Also, don't mislead people into thinking that Stalinkas are incredibly expensive. Not all of them are located in the center of Moscow. A friend of mine bought a Stalinka six months ago and paid $14,000 for it - an identical size Khrushchevka in our city costs the same, and if it's in the center of the city, even more. Also, not all Stalinkas are so chic. There were a series of two- and three-story Stalinkas in which there was one kitchen per floor. Also in these buildings there were wooden floors and ceilings between floors, which without proper repair rotted away and now people literally fall through these floors. I saw a report on the news about a man who went to the bathroom at night in such a house, fell through the floor and drowned in shit. Oh yeah, here's another plus for you: some of them didn't even have a sewer system and the feces were pumped out of them by a sewage truck - a billionaire's dream for sure
@@TripleDDDD My mother visited St. Petersburg over a decade ago, and she loved it. She was struck by the beautiful architecture and how stylish and well-dressed so many of the people, especially young people, were.
4:34 As someone who used to work at a ski hill, the reason the snow lasts so long is that the continually pack it down when they groom the runs, that hard pack snow takes a lot longer to melt, also ski hills near city centers or areas without a lot of rain often use artificial snow that they are able to pile on thicker than snow would naturally fall.
@@dvv18 interesting, people from Warsaw have the same jokes about the Palace of Culture and Science (designed by Lew as well), that the best view of the city is from the Palace as it's the only place where you can't see it. It's also often called Stalin's prick. People generally dislike it, but it is a very good looking building.
@@dvv18 interesting! Are there many Parisians who want the Tower gone? Because there sure is a lot of people from Warsaw who would like the palace demolished.
So this is what stalinist architectural style looks like. Beautiful buildings classic design never gets old past, present and into the future. Great video NFKRZ. Amazing featuring all those buildings.
у площади трёх вокзалов нормальный сейчас вайб, не то что раньше, когда можно было купить наручники и травматический пистолет в ларьке прямо напротив отделения милиции, а так же, когда круглые сутки там была смесь бомжей, беспризорников, цыган и извращенцев, стоящих в очереди за порнухой
Besides the ”Sister” in Bucharest (which was named Casa Scînteii - after our version of the Pravda - since renamed into the House of the Free Press - LOL!), we also have the House of the People - also renamed into the House of the Republic - which currently houses our Parliament. That one is just as insane as the ones in Moscow, it's basically the largest building in the world in terms of floor space, after the Pentagon. We also built a giant orthodox cathedral next to it, LOL.
That change from "House of Scînteii" to "House of the Free Press" does sound ironic! I am not sure what is more ironic: the "House of the Free Press", or that Soviet building at 17:46 which seems to have become... a Citibank? There's plenty of layers of irony on converting a Stalinist building into a bank owned by an American company... and that's an American you are talking to!
You’re getting very good and fluent in your public vlogs. Considering your first language isn’t English, you are more articulate and eloquent than 98% of native English speakers. Love you mate.
Roman, This is your most epic video of all time! While Bald is searching for dirty dilapidated mosaics, you are rocking the pinnacles of Soviet architecture! Don't get me wrong, I love Bald lol I gotta kick you some USDs so we can see more of this stuff.
I’ve been binge watching your channel. I just saw a video where you bragged to some kids on swings your channel had 300k subscribers. You have over 1.1 million now. Wow 😮
Yeah I noticed that too, and the walls are clean with real artwork. Over here in UK, people spray paint stupid tags and gang names all over train station underground walls.
The building at the Red Gates was built at the same as subway station under it. As the soil was frozen due to construction, it was built not vertically, but slightly tilted, and later rotated to be vertical when the ground unfroze and settled.
Really enjoying these tours/vlogs. A big step up from a guy in a small room talking at a camera, as much as I love your regular videos, this is more fun.
The resemblance from buildings in Manhattan come from an architecture style Art Noveau and I think there's also some Roman Neoclassical architecture and can't forget about the Soviet insignia, so really there are 3 different architecture styles in those buildings; Art Noveau, Neoclassical and Soviet Epic
2:10 i live here lol actually, only the main central tower is used for hosting lections and seminars, the other parts of this building are students' dormitories
From vlogs about mud, I'm not complaining about it, it was Chelyabinsk mud, but now we moved to Moscow architecture, I think the move was good. Great improvement.
Man, I've never wanted to really visit Russia or Eastern Europe much but your videos have changed my thought process on that entirely. There's some cool ass shit there lol
With Bald talking about retiring from the Vlogging game, someone else has to step in and take the reins. Really hope that you continue to travel around to show us stuff in Russia. Your perspective is much different than Bald's as someone actually from Russia, you have a better connection to the country. I would love to see you take the Trans Siberian railway out to the far east, Bald's never gone.
7:10 They were built during the Art Deco movement. Everyone was doing it. But the Russians definitely put their own twist on it. A bit more Art Nouveau with all the ornamentation. Definitely influenced by Neo-grecco/Romano architecture. Beautiful.
If you are ever in NYC, take the subway (not the palace, that is the Moscow subway) downtown to the Woolworth Bldg. It's impressive in much the same way as any of the Seven Sisters. Great video; hope to see more of Moscow through your eyes. Take care and avoid press conferences with Putin. W
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv Yes, although Asheville's entire downtown was and is art deco as it avoided the usual "urban renewal" so many other cities committed. Definitely worth a look.
Hey Roman, just saying Hi from Canada. I just found out about your videos in the last few weeks and I found your russian perspective really interesting. Especially the fact that you seem to be a pretty level-headed young Russian. I found your stuff from watching Bald and Bankrupt stuff, which I also found really enlighting. I was especially interested in his Ukranian and all the post-soviet countries video. We don't know enough about those in the West. Just keep doing your thing man. And NoFkrz!
The park outside the Moscow State University was the location of the fan park for the FIFA World Cup in 2018. I watched Russia play Egypt there but I got lost from my friends and then lost in the metro system too on the way back. Turns out that when there's an interchange of lines on the metro, the stations have different names! Would have been useful to know that as I was hopelessly confused.
I actually really enjoy the stalinist architecture. It's got a classy, yet modern, flair that's perfectly unique to the time. I wish such a style would have persisted with the Soviet Union, but economic downturn dashed any hopes of that.
Actually that was Nikita Khrushchov who put an end to all such projects in mid 1950s calling them 'architectural excesses', and started building primitive boxes. He basically killed architecture in the USSR.
I was in Moscow on an exchange 10 years ago. I loved all the old WWII memorabilia. Victory park and the museum of the Great Patriotic War were some of my favorites. All the different metro stops around red square were really unique too.
honestly i feel every encounter with an interesting person leaves an impression. i feel like after roman and bald became friends there are impressions i get in the videos that werent there before, if that makes sense! in a positive way though, of course. i enjoy just traveling around places so far away through videos like these.
It was really interesting seeing all of these! When I was in Moscow last month, I actually ended up staying in the Leningradskaya Hilton. Very nice hotel, beautiful building
Absolutely love your content. As a Scottish person I've always wanted to visit Russia. Can't wait till the pandemic is over because I'm coming over!!. 😁

But he literally has bald and bankrput like 4 times in the video tags xD

Yea, this is from a Russian's Perspective whereas Bald and Bankrupt is showing former Soviet countries from a western perspective
They're great friends and from the looks of it. It looks like they enjoy a healthy competitive competition in vlogging.
@WongFeiHung is that you in the photo?
Roman spent $20 on a video. That could buy him around 9-10 McBurger's
Also, can confirm, Riga has a Stalinist skyscraper, the Academy of Sciences.
It ain't no sky scraper, but just a tall building. I googled it, and it's like a minimi version. In my native language, German, it's even just called a Hochhaus (high/tall house), not Wolkenkratzer (sky scraper).
Tons of places in the exUSSR claim they have the "eighth sister", regardless of how big the building is
We even have one in Prague
In Warsaw also. It's the first building you notice when you leave the main central station lol
the academy of not religion

11:04 The soldier in the statue is holding a PPSH-41 if you're curious.
I love these Stalinist skyscrapers... such iconic symbols of Moscow and the USSR. great overview!
7:10 They were built during the Art Deco movement. Everyone was doing it. But the Russians definitely put their own twist on it. A bit more Art Nouveau with all the ornamentation. Definitely influenced by Neo-grecco/Romano architecture. Beautiful.
This style is called 'Stalin Empire'.
Aloha Roman! Thank you for taking us along!
WOW! The Seven Sisters are incredible.
I appreciate the physical and financial effort put into this video.
Hey Роман. It would be really cool idea travelling to karelia
A boring, poor place, no different from the neighboring regions, except that there are more coniferous forests.
@@nemosius that's why I want to go here. Forests
The best kind of content you have and I’m here for it
If you are ever in NYC, take the subway (not the palace, that is the Moscow subway) downtown to the Woolworth Bldg. It's impressive in much the same way as any of the Seven Sisters. Great video; hope to see more of Moscow through your eyes. Take care and avoid press conferences with Putin. W
NYC definitely still has alot of beautiful art deco buildings.
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv Yes, although Asheville's entire downtown was and is art deco as it avoided the usual "urban renewal" so many other cities committed. Definitely worth a look.
Hey Roman, just saying Hi from Canada. I just found out about your videos in the last few weeks and I found your russian perspective really interesting. Especially the fact that you seem to be a pretty level-headed young Russian. I found your stuff from watching Bald and Bankrupt stuff, which I also found really enlighting. I was especially interested in his Ukranian and all the post-soviet countries video. We don't know enough about those in the West. Just keep doing your thing man. And NoFkrz!
The park outside the Moscow State University was the location of the fan park for the FIFA World Cup in 2018. I watched Russia play Egypt there but I got lost from my friends and then lost in the metro system too on the way back. Turns out that when there's an interchange of lines on the metro, the stations have different names! Would have been useful to know that as I was hopelessly confused.
Bald is threatening to leave us soon, I'm no longer too sad about that since you'll be taking over! Love these vlogs, really interesting
I actually really enjoy the stalinist architecture. It's got a classy, yet modern, flair that's perfectly unique to the time. I wish such a style would have persisted with the Soviet Union, but economic downturn dashed any hopes of that.
Actually that was Nikita Khrushchov who put an end to all such projects in mid 1950s calling them 'architectural excesses', and started building primitive boxes. He basically killed architecture in the USSR.
I was in Moscow on an exchange 10 years ago. I loved all the old WWII memorabilia. Victory park and the museum of the Great Patriotic War were some of my favorites. All the different metro stops around red square were really unique too.
Man's quoting a GTA San Andreas meme in boogie central Moscow, this is the content I live for lol
Yes sir I can boogie
honestly i feel every encounter with an interesting person leaves an impression. i feel like after roman and bald became friends there are impressions i get in the videos that werent there before, if that makes sense! in a positive way though, of course. i enjoy just traveling around places so far away through videos like these.
We have one of these in Prague also. It is called Hotel International now.
That was great! Godfather Bald will be so proud. I remember the Soviet/Stalinist building in Warsaw.
Seven sisters, how beautifully poetically and Russian!
They are actually called "Stalin's skyscrapers" in russian. Seven sisters is an english term.
It was really interesting seeing all of these! When I was in Moscow last month, I actually ended up staying in the Leningradskaya Hilton. Very nice hotel, beautiful building
6:55 Ahhh the power of Art Deco architecture :,)
Another great video nfkrz
Absolutely love your content. As a Scottish person I've always wanted to visit Russia. Can't wait till the pandemic is over because I'm coming over!!. 😁
We're waiting for you! 😁
Thanks for this little snippet tour of Moscow. Lots of rich history in those seven sisters. Kind of a nice morning distraction from my kitchen in Green Bay...
@16:31
Roman: obviously, when you see, you know, 6 or 7 of them in a row, you're not going to be as impressed.
Bald: *hold my beer*
Bro when I was in Moscow I straight up went on the same 7-tower hunt but got tired of it at like no. 4. Appreciate your perseverance
