Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation
The building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of the seven "Stalinist skyscrapers" built. Built in 1948-1953 by architects Vladimir Gelfreich, Mikhail Minkus and designers Grigory Limanovsky and S. D. Gomberg for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR.
The building is credited with resembling the Woolworth Building in Manhattan. The architectural appearance goes back to the English Gothic: its feature is the rigid ribs that emphasize the height of the building and the upward orientation. The building has a tiered structure with a gradual narrowing and easing of the masses upward. The ends of the tiers, unlike other high-rises, are flat-without towers or flowerpots and decorated with merlons.
The photo was taken on the film "Tasma type 42". The body is Canon EOS 5. The lens is Canon EF 70-200/4.0 L+2x extender. The focal length is 400mm.
