e/Eighth Sister (Moscow)

Information
has gloss	eng: The Eighth Sister is the project for the Eighth Sister to the group of seven Stalinist skyscrapers in Moscow, Russia. The original plans included an eighth tower, which would have been one of the tallest buildings in the World if it had been constructed. Following Stalin's death, it was decided that the projected structure would overshadow the Moscow Kremlin and the Rossiya Hotel was erected on the spot. The skyscraper, with some modifications, was instead built in Warsaw (see Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw). The Triumph-Palace, completed in 2003, now the second tallest building in Europe and 59th in the world, is unofficially referred to as the Eighth Sister.
