The Moscow State University

Moscow State University's imposing central building stands on the Vorobyovy Gory (the Sparrow Hills), dominating the campus and overlooking the Luzhniki district of the city. The enormous gothic skyscraper was commissioned by Stalin, along with 6 others dotted across Moscow known as "The Seven Sisters", and was built between 1949 and 1953. It consists of a 36-storey teaching block flanked by four huge wings of student accommodation and is said to contain a total of 33 kilometers of corridor. The building's proportions are deceptively vast and its spire, despite appearing small from the ground, is in fact 240 meters tall and the star on its top weighs an incredible 12 tons.

From the square in front of the University building you are afforded a breathtaking panoramic view of central Moscow, featuring the newly refurbished Luzhniki Stadium, the beautiful Novodevichy Monastery and the brand new Church of Christ the Savior.
