Stalinist architecture (also referred to as Stalin's Empire style or Socialist Classicism) is a term given to architecture of the Soviet Union between 1933, when Boris Iofan's draft for Palace of Soviets was officially approved, and 1955, when Nikita Khruschev condemned "excesses" of the past decades and disbanded the Soviet Academy of Architecture. picked by wookiee 1 year ago tags Stalin Stalinist Soviet Skyscrapers architecture |

In Soviet Russia you couldn’t take some paint tin and go draw something on the walls, just because if you’ve been caught you go directly to jail. All graffiti were considered an evil propaganda, so only approved from the Communist party wall-art could appear. picked by deepcleanfun 12 months ago 0 comments edit related share plime.com |
