From Stalin's Elite to Modern Russians: Life in the Seven Sisters Skyscrapers

A residential skyscraper on the Kotelnicheskaya embankment is one of the most prestigious addresses in Moscow. Being one of the iconic Stalin’s 7 Sisters, this residence was intended only for the elite Soviet circle, and today it has been transformed into modern apartments, providing a glimpse into the lifestyles of contemporary Muscovites. In this video we take a trip to this historic building and explore how its inhabitants have adapted to its rich history and unique architecture!

Thank you for your video tour. Regarding 2:53, for those who are unfamiliar, that urn on top of the kitchen cabinet is a "Samovar" which is a heating vessel used to boil water for making hot tea.

Imagine the government building these 7 buildings at the same time 30 million families were just homeless because of the second world war .
But if World War II had never happened there would be nothing to stop Stalin from building the largest building in Europe with the largest statue on top.
