It is here that one of the best-known Moscow buildings of Stalin’s era, the Lomonosov Moscow State University, was built by Boris Iofan, Lev Rudnev and Sergey Chernyshev between 1949 and 1953. It was subsequently completed after Stalin’s death. Vera Mukhina

in front of the building.
The Main Building of the Moscow State University is one of seven high rises in Moscow designed in the Stalinist style. The building is 240 metres high including its spire. Despite the troublesome soil on which it is built, the main building’s special foundation, columns and supporting elements designed by architect and constructor Nikolay Nikitin ensure that it withstands the test of time. The buildings housing the Faculties of Physics, Chemistry and Biology are designed as separate buildings which constitute a real university campus. The style of the high rises is commonly called ‘Art Deco’, ‘the grand style’, or otherwise, ‘Stalin’s Empire style’.
