Lenin Cinema, Movie theater and architectural monument in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
Lenin Cinema is a movie theater featuring constructivist and Stalinist Empire architectural elements in its design. The building displays geometric forms and symmetrical proportions across its facade, characteristic of Soviet-era construction techniques.
Architect Joseph Karakis completed this cinema in 1930 during a period of rapid urban growth and industrial expansion in the Soviet Ukrainian city. The building emerged as part of modernization efforts that established Kryvyi Rih as a major industrial center.
This cinema has long served as a gathering place where residents come together for entertainment and community events. The venue remains an important social hub that connects people through shared cultural experiences.
The cinema is located on Pochtovyi Avenue and easy to find thanks to its distinctive architectural style. The space remains accessible for visitors who want to see screenings or explore the building's heritage features.
The cinema received protection status as a local cultural monument, making it one of the few surviving examples of early Soviet cinema architecture in Ukraine. This designation preserves it as a testament to the building styles and values of that historical era.
