A Journey Through Stalinist Architecture around the World Part I: The Former Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic
Now, this might be seen as the continuation of my earlier blog post involving my somewhat informative rant on both Stalinist Architecture and Constructivism. In this series of blog posts, I will just try my best and share Stalinist Architecture that can be found around the world.
The first country that has a sizeable amount of these buildings is the biggest republic in the former Soviet Union, the Russian Soviet Republic. Here are several examples of the buildings built in Stalinist style in the Russian Federation.

The Red Army Theatre in Moscow
Rosenfeld tower in Moscow
Hotel Ukraina in Moscow, one of the Seven Sisters of Moscow
The Moscow Metro
Main building of the South Ural State University in Chelyabinsk
City Duma in Yekaterinburg
Stalinist apartment blocks in Moscow.
Stalinist architecture has seen a form of revival in today's Russia leading to newer Stalinist style buildings popping up in the skyline.
This is the Triumph Palace in Moscow, built only recently, in the style of the "Seven Sisters of Moscow"
On the next part of this picture series, I will post Stalinist buildings from the other former Soviet republics such as Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
