The “Seven Sisters” is the English name given to a group of Moscow skyscrapers designed in the Stalinist style. Muscovites call them Vysotki or Stalinskie Vysotki (Russian: Сталинские высотки), “(Stalin’s) high-rises”. They were built from 1947 to 1953, in an elaborate combination of Russian Baroque and Gothic styles, and the technology used in building American skyscrapers.
The Seven are:
01. Moscow State University
02. Hotel Ukraina
03. Ministry of Foreign Affairs
04. Hilton Moscow Ledidgradkaya Hotel
05. Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building
06. Kudrinskaya Square Building
