A bit of history:
The Leningradskaya Hotel (now Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya) is a high-rise building built in Moscow on Komsomolskaya Square in 1949-1954. The hotel was opened to visitors on November 1, 1953. The lowest of the seven Stalinist skyscrapers – its spire reaches a mark of 139 m. The building was designed by architects Leonid Polyakov and Alexander Boretsky. Initially, the hotel had 349 rooms: from one-bed rooms with an area of 12 m² to three-room suites of 90 m². After the restoration, the number of rooms was reduced to 273.
Unlike New York, skyscrapers were not built compactly in Moscow during Stalin’s time. They were mainly distributed in the historical center of the capital. This decision is explained by the fact that the new skyscrapers were supposed to serve as the architectural dominants of the capital. Church bell towers and domes played a similar role in pre-revolutionary Moscow.
The country’s leadership was in a hurry to implement the ambitious project, so the ceremonial laying of the first stone of the buildings took place in the midst of celebrating the 800th anniversary of Moscow: on September 7, 1947, at 13:00, it was done simultaneously at all eight construction sites. It is noteworthy that at that time there were no plans for future buildings. Some researchers associate such a haste with the personal interest of Joseph Stalin, who tried to demonstrate the greatness of the Land of Soviets with a large-scale construction. He is credited with the words: “They go to America, then they come and gasp – oh, what huge houses! Let them go to Moscow now, see what kind of houses we have, let them gasp ”.
in the case of the Leningradskaya hotel, the builders had to use additional piles. During the construction of the foundation, it turned out that two underground rivers flow through the square – Rybinka and Chechera. To create a reliable support, the structure of the building was reinforced with 1400 vibration-driven ten-meter piles. For this, strong cast-iron pipes were used, which were hammered into a solid load-bearing soil. Then a reinforcing cage was inserted into the pipe and the cavity was poured with plastic concrete. Before the concrete hardened, the pipe was removed, and after a few days, when the solution hardened, a pile of the required strength was obtained.
Until the 1940s, Soviet builders erected low-rise buildings predominantly of brick, so the main work on the building was within the power of man. Moscow in 1946 at the disposal of the construction teams had only 26 cranes, 55 excavators and 40 dump trucks. Assessing the available resources, the chairman of the Moscow executive committee, Georgy Popov, in 1946 even proposed to build two-, three- and five-story buildings in the coming years.
New materials and powerful equipment were required to create high-rise buildings. These houses were supposed to be built from monolithic reinforced concrete using ready-made slabs, for which new enterprises were organized in Lyubertsy and Kuchin. When erecting high-rise buildings on the Vosstaniya and Komsomolskaya squares, new equipment was used: a concrete pump capable of pumping fresh mortar to a height of 40 meters. Designers P.P. Velikhov, I. B. Gitman and L. N. Shchipakin developed new tower cranes UBK, the maximum lifting capacity of which was 15 tons. To operate at high altitudes, the machine lifted itself from floor to floor as the building grew. The use of a metal frame required the creation of new wall materials:
