If you have any knowledge on Moscow you would know about Stalin's seven sisters. They were built to show Stalinism’s great power, imposing, stable, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Here are Stalin's seven sisters which were built in the early 50's:

As you can see the buildings are pleasing to the eye (at least mine) but Stalin did not finish the 8th building, the capitalist Russia of today is going to finish Stalin's great sister:

This building will be the world's second largest residential building, the tallest being in Seoul. I should say that the Capitalists have completed the Moscow skyline.
