Moscow: A Guide to Soviet Modernist Architecture 1955-1991 provides descriptions of almost 100 buildings from the most unerrated period of Soviet Architecture This is the first guide to bring together the architecture made during the three decades between Khrushchev and Gorbachev, from the naive modernism to the thaw of the late 1950s through Post Modernism. Buildings include the Palace of Youth, the Rossiya Cinema, the Pioneer Palace, the Ostankino TV Tower, the TASS headquarters, the 'golden brains' of the Academy Sciences and less well known structures such as the House of New Life and the Lenin Komsomol Automobile Plant Museum. The authors situate Moscow's post war architecture within historical and political context of the Soviet Union, while also referencing developments in international architecture of the period.
