Product description

The book provides descriptions of almost 100 buildings from the most underrated period of Soviet architecture. This is the first guide to bring together the architecture made during the three decades between Khrushchev and Gorbachev, from the naive modernism of the late 1950s through postmodernism. Buildings include the Palace of Youth, the Rossiya cinema, the Pioneer Palace, the Ostankino TV Tower, the TASS headquarters, the Academy of Sciences and less-known structures such as the House of New Life and the Lenin Komsomol Automobile Plant Museum. The authors situate Moscow\'s postwar architecture within the historical and political context of the Soviet Union, while also referencing developments in international architecture of the period.
