Repressed Architecture

Abstract

The "heroic" building of the Pravda's printing complex, sancta sanctorum of the communist doctrinal orthodoxy and ideological manifesto of Soviet power, was erected between 1930 and 1935 in the Muscovite district of Yamskoye Pole. Thanks to its symbolic content and programmatic commitment, it undeniably embodies an unrivalled episode in the history of modern architecture in Russia.
