Classics with a constructivist past

Abstract

The article traces the change in the style approach during the Stalin era, taking as an example the building of the East Siberian Railway Administration (7 Karl Marx St., Irkutsk). The author considers the stages of construction and reconstruction of this object, from the initial project in the style of constructivism by K. V. Mital to the project by D. M. Goldstein in the style of Soviet neoclassicism.
