Summary:
In the early years of the Cold War, the skyline of Moscow was forever transformed by a citywide skyscraper building project. As the steel girders of the monumental towers went up, the centuries-old metropolis was reinvented to embody the greatness of Stalinist society. This volume explores how the quintessential architectural works of the late Stalin era fundamentally reshaped daily life in the Soviet capital.
