Well, i understand,i will be visiting Russia this summer and i hope i'll visit Moscva City too :-) . Here in greece there are no skyscrapers at all... :-(

I would give it a 10 but it's kinda creepy (the communist style with the red paint etc...). And inside it looks awful (in the pics).
I give it a 9, I love the classical touch and details (and the lighting)!

***coth*** · July 9th, 2004, 08:18 PM

^we voting for architecture, not for political interests!

sdtj · July 10th, 2004, 09:49 AM

9.5/10 Just beautiful ex soviet architecture.. Great pics BTW.

Iiee · July 14th, 2004, 07:52 PM

I meant the architechture was a little bit creepy not that it's creepy because it's a communist building. I apologize if I was a bit misleading.

LibertyTwo · July 17th, 2004, 12:59 AM

Definitely not a skyscraper, more of a monument than anything
Great architecture and design, but again 1/10 for being a real skyscraper

10/10 for architecture
10/10 for being so friggin gaudy (not Gaudi, although ... ;-0)

1/10 for being a cheap way to say we have skyscrapers

7.5/10 overall then I guess

LibertyTwo · July 17th, 2004, 01:01 AM

BTW is the entire university self contained in this structure
Or is it sort of a Cathedral of Learning, with satellite buildings etc

Winus · October 3rd, 2004, 08:03 PM

Even better than its Polish brother.

Impressive for 1953 Russia. Too ornamental tho

TallBox · October 6th, 2004, 11:20 PM

i had the honour of seeing this building in person a few years back - it looks damn good when viewed down the garden leading to it on a blustery, snowy, winter day.

9/10

Monkey · November 1st, 2004, 11:51 PM

It's undoubtedly an impressive building, but I wouldn't call it "beautiful".

It looks too much like a fortress, or some kind of prison.

8/10

***Matthieu*** · November 20th, 2004, 07:27 PM

Like it and the spire, 8/10
