Description
The book is devoted to Alexey Shchusev (1873–1949) who was one of the most celebrated architects of the Soviet Union. Not only a gifted designer of many prominent buildings, his career was quite unique and closely intertwined with the turbulent course of Russian and Soviet history. This monograph offers a critical view on Alexey Shchusev’s work. The architectural historian Dmitrij Chmelnizki pursues the mysteries of one of the most famous Soviet architects whose name and work has remained a marginal note outside the Russian‑speaking academic world to this day. But the book also shows that Shchusev’s planning assignments in the twilight Soviet society require more intensive research.
