Moskovsky District Administration building, Administrative building from 1930s on Moskovsky Prospekt, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Moskovsky District Administration building, known as the Moskovsky Raysovet, is an asymmetrical constructivist structure on Moskovsky Prospekt, built 1931–1935 by I. I. Fomin with V. G. Daugul and B. M. Serebrovsky. Its right flank is a five-storey cylinder containing a domed hall, while a three-storey longitudinal block and a perpendicular wing frame a recessed courtyard. A glazed stair parallelepiped with balconies is set into the cylinder.

The building was constructed between 1931 and 1935 to designs by architect Ivan Fomin with V. G. Daugul and B. M. Serebrovsky, after the Moskovsko-Narvsky district was split in 1930 into the separate Moskovsky and Kirovsky districts. It was raised in mature Leningrad constructivism with Art Deco elements. In October 2025 it was entered in the unified state register as a regional cultural heritage site.

The structure shows how Soviet officials chose to express authority through simple, rational forms rather than the ornate decoration of earlier eras. Visitors today can still see this plain, functional beauty that was meant to convey both order and progress.

The building is easy to reach by taking the metro to Moskovskaya station and walking north along Moskovsky Prospekt for about 10 minutes. The exterior is freely visible from the street, and the area is safe and well-lit during daylight hours.

The cylindrical south wing holds a large domed hall; the dome was originally conical and was rebuilt in the 1970s. The five-storey cylinder is cut at the front by a tall stair block whose staircase hangs free inside the rounded volume, not tied to the wall. In 2024, 28.5 million rubles were allocated from the city budget to restore the roof.
