List of tallest buildings in Russia

The first skyscrapers in Russia were built during the Stalinist Era in the Soviet Union. These skyscrapers are known as the Seven Sisters, which were built in the Stalinist architectural style. The first skyscraper to be constructed in Russia was the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building. Skyscrapers in Russia are among the tallest in Europe and the Eastern Hemisphere, the vast majority of them are located in the MIBC, in the nation's capital of Moscow, which is home to 7 out of the 10 tallest skyscrapers in Europe.

Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg is the tallest building in Russia

As of 2022, the Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg is the tallest skyscraper in Russia and Europe, with a height of 462 metres (1,516 ft). It is followed by four skyscrapers in the MIBC, Federation Tower Vostok (or "East"), OKO, Neva Tower 2, and Mercury City Tower, the tallest buildings in both Russia and Europe.

Russia is currently going through a skyscraper construction boom; with multiple skyscrapers under construction and planned. It is the first European nation with over roughly 300 skyscrapers completed over 100 metres.^[1]
