[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is one more picture from the Moscow By Night Tour which I took on the Sparrow Hills with my repeat client from New Zealand.

Moscow State University is one of seven skyscrapers, so called "Seven Sisters", built by order of Stalin at the beginning of 50's to change architectural style of Moscow city after demolishing a lot of old buildings, churches and monasteries after Soviet revolution 1917. This building, which is definitely the biggest and most impressive from all these famous Stalin skyscrapers, was built from 1949 till 1953 using slave labor of prisoners from Germany.

More interesting information about this building you can find in my notes to the picture "Moscow State University", which I took almost from the same place, but during a day light and also you can compare the views during a day and night...

PS: Greetings with upcoming New 2007 Year for you!

Great! What a stately building this Moscow State University is. And lit up at night like this makes it look very impressive. Good one Arthur.
All the best for 2007,
