House of Soviets, Soviet Modernist administration building in Kaliningrad, Russia.
The 21-story concrete structure stands 50 meters tall at the intersection of Shevchenko and Leninski Avenues in central Kaliningrad.
Construction of this administrative center began in 1970 under architect Lev Valentinovich Misozhnikov but halted permanently in 1985 due to financial difficulties.
Local residents named the structure 'buried robot' as its geometric forms resemble a mechanical head emerging from the ground.
The building underwent exterior renovation in 2005 with light blue paint and new windows, yet remained empty and unused inside.
The demolition process started in May 2023, with plans to sell fragments of the structure as commemorative pieces to interested collectors.
