Gorodok Chekistov, Constructivist residential complex in central Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The architectural ensemble consists of fourteen buildings arranged in a semicircle, with the eleven-story Iset Hotel as its central structure.
Built between 1929 and 1936, this housing development was designed for NKVD staff members under the direction of architects Ivan Antonov and Veniamin Sokolov.
The complex reflects Soviet communal living concepts, with shared facilities replacing individual kitchens and bathrooms in the original apartment designs.
The Sverdlovsk Regional Museum occupies building number 10, which previously housed the Dzerzhinsky Cultural Center and contains historical exhibitions.
The residential buildings are positioned at a ten-degree angle to the street lines, creating a distinct spatial rhythm throughout the quarter.
