my history teacher told us about it and said that a few years ago when she was there she saw this building and it looked like two building designs shoved together because the workers were so intimidated by stalin that they didn’t ask how he wanted it to look. i cant find it online and i dont know the name of it but if you could help that would be great.
Yes, I know this story. This building does not exist anymore as it’s been recently demolished. It was called "Moskva" Hotel (built in 1935) and situated right next to the Red Square. I put a link below for you with a picture to see how it looked like. If you look you’ll see that the two "wings" of the Hotel are not identical. The historical anecdote goes that Stalin had been presented with two designs both of which he (probably by mistake) endorsed. Architect A.V.Shchusev, who was the head of the project, did not dare ask Stalin which of the designs he preferred more and decided it would be safer to combine two into one.

As Slava said, the Moskva Hotel. It was torn down a couple of years ago.
