Stalins plan was to construct eight skyscrapers that would rival the then recently completed skyscrapers in the USA and Europe. The Seven Sisters include Moscow State University, Hotel Ukraina, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Leninsgraksaya Hotel, the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building, the Kudrinskaya Square Building, and the Red Gates Administrative Building. The skyscrapers were built in the form of a ring to emphasize the radial layout of the city.
