Four years after the enforcement of European sanctions against Moscow following the annexation of Crimea, Saint Petersburg – Vladimir Putin's hometown – has set itself up now more than ever as a showcase towards the West.

86 stories, 34 elevators, 600.000 square meters including offices, recreation and cultural centers, underground parking – the tallest skyscraper in Europe towers at 462 meters.
20.000 people from 18 countries have worked on this futuristic tower that has caused numerous controversies. This business district demonstrates a desire to preserve Saint Petersburg's imperial status and establish Russia's hegemony.
