38 Peremohy Avenue, Kyiv, Cultural palace building in Kyiv, Ukraine.

The Kulturpalast Bolschewik at 38–40 Beresteiskyi Avenue is an asymmetrical functionalist building of 1929–1936 by architect Yakov Moiseevich. Its rounded corner carries dark Cyrillic lettering "ПАЛАЦ КУЛЬТУРИ ВО БІЛЬШОВИК" above tall gridded windows, with dark grey stone cladding below; a lower left wing has round openings, a canopy and a wide stair. The white-panelled facade, applied in the 1980s, shows cracks and missing panels.

The Metal Workers' Union commissioned the building, constructed between 1929 and 1936 to plans by architect Yakov Moiseevich, and it first opened as the Metallist Club. It passed to the Bolshevik factory across the street, one of Kyiv's largest machine-building plants until the 1990s, and took that name. In 2018 the factory was decommunized and renamed the First Kyiv Machine-Building Factory (PKMS); since 2021 the building has been called the PKMS Cultural House, and its future is uncertain as a sale is sought.

The name changed with its owner: founded as the Metallist Club for the metalworkers' union, it became the Bolshevik Culture Palace when the factory across the street took it over, and since 2021 it has been called the PKMS Cultural House. Its 700-seat theatre is used by the Romans theatre group, and exhibitions are held in the building.

The palace stands at 38–40 Beresteiskyi Avenue, between Soologichna Street and Pushkin Park, across from the former Bolshevik factory. The theatre hall seats 700 and is used by the "Romans" troupe; exhibitions are also held inside. The building was last renovated in 1983, and some facade panels have since fallen off.

The building's name survives in the dark Cyrillic lettering "ПАЛАЦ КУЛЬТУРИ ВО БІЛЬШОВИК" on the curved corner facade, though the factory was decommunized in 2018 and renamed the First Kyiv Machine-Building Factory (PKMZ). Since 2021 the palace has been called the PKMZ Cultural House, and its future is uncertain because a sale is sought.
