House of Soviets, Administrative building in Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, Russia
The House of Soviets features a semi-cylindrical central section with intersecting straight lines and geometric forms representing constructivist architectural principles.
Constructed between 1929 and 1931 under architect Alexander Grinberg's direction, the building replaced the former Spassky Cathedral at this location.
The structure demonstrates the Soviet architectural transformation of the 1930s, integrating modern materials and functional design elements into public administration spaces.
Located at 5 Kremlin Street, the building currently houses the city administration offices and the municipal council of Nizhny Novgorod.
The building's facade underwent restoration in 2005, changing from light gray to dark gray while maintaining its original constructivist design elements.
