This building, the skyscraper with a giant Lenin statue on top was never built.
It was projected on the 3-d construction plans as you can see on the image above but was never started, and some say it’s a big pity it wasn’t.
So one guy decided to insert this Soviet skyscraper in the views of modern Moscow to see how it could look like if it was built.

impressive.
something tells me that would get old fast.
That looks more like Vegas
Moscow has nearly twice the amout of casinos in Vegas. –
- not for long though!!!
Yes, it looms over everything else, and anything in its neighbourhood would spend at least half the day in a cold shadow. Very appropriate.
It was never started? I’m American and I know this is not true. It was started upon the foundation of the Cathedral of Christ the Redeemer.
It did`nt go further than a basement pit. War began.
And on this pit a Moscow swimming pool was built…
“Palace of Soviets; Construction started in 1937, and was terminated by the German invasion in 1941. In 1941-1942, its steel frame was disassembled for use in fortifications and bridges. Construction never resumed again.If built, it would have become the world’s tallest structure.”
The Kremlin does an adequate job of it.
Nah, too pretty. And too small – it`s hard to sit on top and cast evil eye around. We need something cyclopic.
No, it proves he had a huge cojones.
They look fantastic!!!!
Imagine how many more tourists moscow would attract if they were build!!!

lenin the ringloard statue would have probably been torn down. maybe the new superkitsch peter the great statue would have been placed on top of the palace instead of on the waterfront. or the christ redentor church would have been rebuilt to exact replica on top. who knows…
艹，谁敢说列宁同志坏话，干掉你丫的，等着吧，共产主义一定会实现！！！！
