As a result of the nationalization of land and large real estate in cities, the state became the sole customer of construction works in Soviet Russia. In the first decade after the revolution, his ideological dictates did not affect art. Open competitions, debates, original projects, and teaching systems at art universities created a picture of a creative boom in the late 1910s and late 1920s. In the 1920s, architecture was characterized by an intensive search for new styles and innovative forms. In the first half of the 20s, when construction was limited, projects of various buildings (apartment houses, labor halls, workers’ clubs, communal houses) were widely developed. A style of architecture known as Constructivism was developed. Neoclassicism began to recover. The most ambitious, though unfulfilled, plan was to build the Palace of Soviets in Moscow on the site of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. In 1929–1930, a lively debate broke out about settlement in socia list society — a debate between “urbanists” and “des-urbanists”. The first (among them A.A. and L.A. Vesnins) proposed the idea of creating commune cities with hotel-type housing and complete socialization of all types of cultural and consumer se rvices, including c hild rearing. Their oppo nents (M.Y. Ginzburg and others) believe that cities can be replaced by a highway network, according to which residential buildings stretch in a continuous strip, followed by industrial and agricultural strips. At the same time, each family was to be provided with a standard house and car. At the beginning of the 30s of the 20th century there was a sharp turn in the development of Soviet architecture. In 1932 , all as soc ia t io ns joined the Union of Architects of the USSR. Many buildings appeared, the size and richness of the decoration. At the same time, massive construction works were carried out in the country. Standard projects of residential buildings, schools, public institutions were developed. The development of the construction industry was primaril y aimed at reducing costs and speeding up wor k: from 1927, canvas blocks were used, and in 1940, the first panel houses were built. In 1935, l arge-scale works on the reconstruction of Moscow began (the author of the project was V.N. Semenov). By 1941, the ensemble of the center of Moscow was reshaped, the system of transport arteries of the city was renewed, nine new bridges and granite embankments over the Moskva and Yauza rivers, three subway lines, and green zones of Gorky were built. The Central Culture and Recreation Park was built.
