Abstract

The article is devoted to changes in the architecture of the first five-year plan of Soviet Russia, 1917–1922. This is a time of global reorganization of society and lifestyle, fundamental changes in socio-political views, the transmission of new values and ideals by the forces of art. Urban planning and architecture were among the first to be in the field of transformation, since the issue of building a new world directly concerned the architectural form and urban planning. Architecture is a symbolic embodiment of this new world and society. The principles of socialist construction included the features of the organization of urban life, the space of the city. The article considers the projects of A. V. Shchusev (“New Moscow”, 1918–1923) and S. S. Shestakova (“Greater Moscow”, 1921–1925). As a representative type of a new public building, the “palace” is considered as the center of the cultural, social and political life of the working people. The article fixes the leading position of constructivism as an emerging architectural tradition, and the main content is the analysis of the project “Monument to the III International” by V. E. Tatlin as an image-symbol of the new system and the general movement in building communism
