This book by D.Khmelnitsky - an architect, historian of architecture and publicist - provides a thorough review of the process of appearance, development and ruin of Stalin architecture during the thirty years of its existence - from the late 1920-s till the late 1950-s. The events of architectural life are described as a part of a general soviet history, against the extensive historical background and in the correlation with the political, economic and cultural events of that time. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of soviet architects’ views and psychology.
