English: PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks. I AM POSTING MANY DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON ALL - JUST ENJOY.
Taken from the bus as we were passing. No building in St. Petersburg can compare to this Stalinist beauty! Planned to be the central administrative building of Stalin's Leningrad, it was built with the leader's neoclassical tastes in mind. Begun by Noi Trotsky in 1936, it was not finished until after the war, by which time Trotsky had been purged. This magnificently sinister building is a great example of Stalinist design, with its columns and bas-reliefs and an enormous frieze running across the top. The House of Soviets dominates the vast square (Moskovskaya pl) before it, which features a 1970 bronze statue of Lenin and a endless array of fountains. The House of Soviets was never used as the Leningrad government building, as the plan was shelved after Stalin's death in 1953. Today it houses the Moskovsky Region's local administration. |
