Сталинская высотка для своих: кто платил за роскошь на Котельнической

A Stalinist skyscraper for the elite: who paid for luxury on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment The building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment was conceived as a "city within a city" for the Soviet elite. It offered more than just housing: marble halls, a movie theater, views of the Moskva River, and proximity to stage stars, scientists, and security officials. But this address was built through war, labor camps, and the displacement of an entire neighborhood. It then survived the Thaw, kitchen talk, and privatization, when housing orders became commodities priced in dollars. This film tells the story of how one building became a mirror of the changing elites in the USSR and Russia, and why luxury here has always been associated with the risk of losing everything.
