Soviet Architecture refers to the architectural style that developed in the Soviet Union from the 1920s to the 1980s. It encompasses a range of styles, including Constructivism, which emphasized functionality and modern materials, and Stalinist architecture, known for its grandiose and ornate designs. Buildings often featured large public spaces and were intended to reflect the ideals of the socialist state. The architecture aimed to symbolize the power and progress of the Soviet regime, with structures like the Moscow Metro showcasing intricate designs and artwork. Other notable examples include the Seven Sisters, a group of skyscrapers in Moscow that blend Gothic and Russian Baroque styles, representing the ambition of the era.
