View from Kosmodamianskaya Embankment on one of the famous Stalin's Seven Moscow Skyscrapers (also well known as “Seven Sisters”) built in 1947-1953 in an elaborate combination of Russian Baroque and Gothic styles. The impressive high-rise apartment building located about 1 km from Moscow Kremlin was built in 1951 at Kotelnicheskaya embankment of Moskva-Reka (Moscow River) and became residence of the elite Soviet writers and artists.
