"On Februari 28, 1932, the committee in charge of the construction of the Palace of the Soviets, under its chairman V. Molotov, announced the outcome of the competition, in a statement that stressed the absolute necessity of monumentalism, simplicity, unity and elegance of architectural expression, and the need to employ "BOTH NEW TECHNIQUES AND THE BEST METHODS OF CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE.""[1]
"[in 1937] the architect Panteleimon Golosov finished the much-delayed Pravda building in Moscow, the plans for which had been prepared a long time before, and Moses Ginzberg completed the Ordzhonikidze vacation and rest home at Kislovodsk. These were the last two important buildings of a contemporary nature to be built in the U.S.S.R. during the pre-World War II period, but as a trend, as an intellectual movement, modern architecture was already dead."[2]
