🏛 Kotelnicheskaya Embankment skyscraper

A residential Stalinist skyscraper at the confluence of the Yauza and the Moskva River, 176 m tall, with three wings and a spire.

The first block along Kotelnicheskaya Embankment was built as early as 1938–1940, and the high-rise part in 1948–1952.
The authors were Dmitry Chechulin and Andrei Rostkovsky; Chechulin, after falling out of favour, also received a flat in this building.
Originally the building had 540 flats.
Faina Ranevskaya, Galina Ulanova, Alexander Tvardovsky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Vasily Aksyonov lived here.
The Galina Ulanova apartment museum, opened in 2004, operates in the building.
The cinema in the building received the name Illyuzion in 1966 and began showing films from the State Film Fund.
