Moscow State University

Moscow State University

Moscow State University's imposing central building stands on 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 on the site, which Ivan the Terrible had deemed "too windy" for construction back in the 16th century. A total of sixty trains were employed to transport the building's steel frame from the eastern Ukrainian city of Dneiperpetrovsk and thousands of forced laborers worked on the building for a period of 4 years, under the ever watchful gaze of Stalin's favorite henchman, Lavrenty Beria.

I was in Moscow visiting my girlfriend who is working there for 6 months for a bank. Arthur helped us tremendously - we did a night tour of Moscow (i would highly recommend this) and Arthur's knowledge was first rate. Was a very relaxed tour and was a lot of fun. I would recommend Arthur to anyone and will do so to my friends who may travel to Moscow. Moscow is an interesting and incredible City and having Arthur show us around made our experience all the better.

Kind regards,

Liam

Will see you in a month or so time when back over.

Cheers
