Derzhprom, Constructivist office building in Freedom Square, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Derzhprom is an administrative complex on Freedom Square that rises 108 meters with interconnected towers featuring geometric forms and extensive concrete construction. The building displays constructivist principles through its bold structural design and multiple walkways connecting different sections of the complex.
Construction of this Soviet administrative complex began in 1925 and upon its completion in 1928, it was the largest single building in the world. This achievement marked a turning point in Soviet architecture and established Kharkiv as a center for modern building practices of that era.
The building shaped the city's identity since its completion and appears in Soviet films from the 1920s and 1930s, including works by directors Dziga Vertov and Sergei Eisenstein. It became a symbol of the new Soviet era through its bold architectural language and remains central to how locals see their city.
The building currently houses government offices and administrative institutions visible from the square. Visitors can explore the exterior architecture and square layout, though direct access to interior areas may be restricted.
The building played a significant role in experimental Soviet film art, with leading directors using it as a setting for their avant-garde visions. Its geometric form and scale made it a visual symbol embodying Soviet modernity and artistic innovation.
