AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : This aerial tour of Moscow by contributor and drone pilot VadimUshKa does a phenomenal job of bringing out the remarkable mix of old and new which characterizes Russia's (and Europe's) largest city. It opens with an excellent shot of the city's ultra-modern Moscow City district, home to five of the continent's seven tallest buildings as of 2019. Other highlights include some of the Stalinist era Seven Sisters skyscrapers, the Peter the Great Statue on the Moscow River, the Ostankino radio and TV tower, and much more.
