The Sparkle Skyscraper

This splendid frontage of Moscow’s renowned skyscraper radiates the city’s magnificence. However, has anyone ever contemplated the colossal endeavor of maintaining their sparkle? With more than 70 levels to tackle, the task appears overwhelming. Here come the unheralded champions of the city’s skyline: the intrepid window washers.

Captured by the audacious camera of Moscow State University’s Alexey Goncharov, these adventurers dangle from ropes, don safety gear, and navigate treacherous platforms to guarantee that those towering windows are immaculate. It’s a profession that necessitates nerves of steel and an affection for awe-inspiring panoramas, as they stake everything to keep the city gleaming. Congratulations to the high-flying cleaners!
