Stalinist Architecture 1's by marianne

Prague - Czech Republic, Hlavni Mesto Praha This building is a classic example of Stalinist architecture. It was built in the early 1950's in style as the Moscow State University. Architectural copies of original Moscow buildings were built all over central and eastern Europe as Soviet gifts but were in reality a symbol of communist hegemony in these countries. Apart from Prague, copies of these buildings can be found in Warsaw, Riga, Budapest and other cities.
