सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Seven Sisters' are the most famous 'высокие здания' in Moscow. Built in the late 1940s and early 1950s, they define the city's skyline and were intended to show Soviet architectural superiority. In many Russian cities, 'высокие здания' are often synonymous with 'спальные районы' (residential districts) where thousands of people live in identical multi-story blocks. The term 'небоскрёб' was rarely used for Soviet buildings; 'высотное здание' was the preferred official term to avoid Western capitalist connotations. Moscow City (Moskva-Citi) is a cluster of 'высокие здания' that represents the new, corporate Russia. It is a popular spot for photography and business.
