Stalinist architecture
.jpg?width=300)
Stalinist architecture (Russian: ста́линский ампи́р stalinskiy ampir – Stalin's Empire style or Russian: ста́линский неоренесса́нс stalinskiy neorenessans – Stalin's Neo-renaissance), also referred to as Stalinist Empire style, or Socialist Classicism, is a term given to architecture of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, between 1933, when Boris Iofan's draft for Palace of the Soviets was officially approved, and 1955, when Nikita Khrushchev condemned ""excesses"" of the past decades and disbanded the Soviet Academy of Architecture. Stalinist architecture is associated with the socialist realism school of art and architecture.
