Alexey Shchusev, a renowned architect of the Soviet Union, left an indelible mark on the architectural landscape with his iconic design of Lenins Mausoleum in Moscow. Beyond his exceptional design skills, Shchusev's career was intricately linked to the tumultuous course of Russian and Soviet history. He stood out as one of the few architects who achieved prominence under the tsars and replicated his success under Soviet rule.
Prior to the 1917 Revolution, Shchusev was already recognized as a Revivalist architect, renowned for his church designs, including the iconic Kazan Station in Moscow. In the 1920s, he embraced the Constructivist movement, which sought to create functional and abstract forms. However, with Stalin's official renunciation of Avant-Garde architecture, Shchusev swiftly shifted his stance and became an advocate of Socialist Classicism. He designed numerous projects in the Empire Style, favored by Stalin, to fulfill the Stalinist state's demand for monumental representation.
This captivating book, meticulously researched and accompanied by stunning photographs, traces the evolution of Shchusev's artistic and political prowess through the architectural and historical transformations of the first half of the 20th century. It delves into his early influences, his contributions to Revivalist and Constructivist architecture, and his adaptation to the changing political climate. Through his work, Shchusev not only left a lasting architectural legacy but also played a significant role in shaping the artistic and political landscape of his era.
