This is the story about Moscow architecture of the 30-50-ies, of the so called “Stalin style”. The house on the river bank, the famous tall houses, the palaces on the ground and under the ground, the houses built by the captive Germans and political prisoners…

This film is not a scientific research, but an essay, a look at “Stalin Moscow” like at the city in the city; stone chronicle of the great and terrible epoch. Moscow of the totalitarian style is shown as a part of the modern megalopolis, seen by the eyes of the present and future generations.

Graphic and photographic materials from the architecture museum funds as well as the news reels of the 30-50-ies were widely used in the film.
