Lomonosov Moscow State University

Outline
It is the tallest of the seven "sevensisters" (skyscrapers) built during the reconstruction of the capital under the Stalinist regime, at 235 meters (including the spire). The symbolic symmetry of the central spire is called the Stalin style. After his death, Stalin's overly ornate architecture came under criticism, and the Soviet Union's skyscraper industry entered a period of stagnation until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
