SUSU main building, University building on Lenin Avenue, Chelyabinsk, Russia
The 76-meter-tall South Ural State University main building features neoclassical design elements with symmetrical wings and a central tower structure.
The building construction began in 1952 under architect Eugene Alexandrov's plans, but its upper floors were reduced due to 1950s architectural reform policies.
The main building exhibits Stalinist Empire architectural style, reflecting the Soviet approach to educational institutions through monumental construction methods.
The central structure houses administrative offices, lecture halls, and educational facilities across multiple floors connected by wide corridors and staircases.
Bronze sculptures of Prometheus carrying knowledge fire and Nike, the goddess of victory, stand on the building's roof since 2003.
