First and only edition. One of 2000 copies. Brochures summed up the architectural development of 8 industrial centers during Stalin’s and Khrushchev’s periods. They are well-illustrated with photographs and urban plans. Most captions credit architects involved.
The East Siberian city Angarsk began to be built in stone structures instead of the workers’ settlement Maysk in 1949. A few months after WWII, Soviet authorities identified the confluence of Kitoi and Angara as a site for the construction of a factory producing artificial liquid fuel. The equipment for the factory was imported through reparations from Germany. A temporary workers’ settlement was built as well. Some years later, mass construction of two-story stone housing began and the city status was received in 1951. Urban planning was carried out by architectural and planning workshop No. 4 of the Leningrad branch of Gorstroyproekt led by architects E. Wittenberg, L. Timofeev and engineer Zernitsky. The team of authors also included architects A. Tarantul, I. Davydov, F. Kirtsideli, et al. The construction itself was implemented by displaced GULAG prisoners.
The city Volzhsky emerged as a workers’ settlement for the construction of the Volga Hydroelectric Station near the old village Bezrodnoye (also, Verkhniaia Akhtuba) in 1951. About 20 thousand prisoners of the Akhtuba forced labor camp (existed until 1953) worked on the construction of the Volga hydroelectric power station and the workers’ village. Prisoners were involved in the construction of residential buildings, social and cultural facilities, water supply and sewerage on the left bank of the Volga.
The small provincial town Alexandrovsk was renamed Zaporozhye (Rus.) or Zaporizhzhia (Ukr.) in 1921. The Soviet authorities industrialized Zaporizhzhia further during the 1920s and 1930s, when the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, the Zaporizhzhia Steel Plant and the Dnieper Aluminium Plant were built. Urban planning was entrusted to architects led by V. Vesnin. After WWII, redesign of the city plan was developed by the Architectural Workshop of the Kharkiv Department of Gorstroiproekt trust which was led by G. Vegman.
Kohtla-Järve is an Estonian city located near large deposits of oil shale. As a result of the protocol between the USSR and Germany, Estonia was included in the USSR in 1940. After the war, oil shale was needed in ever-increasing quantities for the northwestern part of the Soviet Union. Kohtla-Järve received city status in 1946. In 1946, the project of the new city was developed in the Leningrad branch of the Gorstroiproekt by architects E. Vitenberg, I. Davydov, F. Kirtsideli, engineers B. Ioffe, V. Sokolov, et al. In 1951-1953, urban planning of the oil shale basin was developed, including industrial enterprises and residential areas.
Magnitogorsk was built for numerous workers of one of the pearls of the first five-year plan, Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. The construction of the enterprise was launched in 1929. Early urban planning of the left-bank part was handed over to a group of German and Austrian architects led by Ernst May. In fact, construction of residential buildings was delayed for some years and workers had to live in temporary dwellings. A right-bank part was planned by many architects since 1933 and the construction began in 1940.
Rustavi is one of the oldest cities in Georgia. During Soviet industrialization, about 90 large and medium-sized industrial enterprises were built in Rustavi. The main industrial center was the Rustavi Metallurgical Plant, built in 1941−1950. Modern Rustavi is divided into two parts - Dzveli Rustavi (Old Rustavi) and Akhali Rustavi (New Rustavi). The first is dominated by Stalinist architecture. Architects M. Neprintsev, Z. Kurdiani, N. Kurdiani, D. Melikishvili, L. Kobaladze took part in the creation of the plan for the left-bank old part (1944). The planning of the second part (1955) was developed by the architects M. Neprintsev, I. Chkhenkeli, Melikishvili. It was dominated by Soviet unified construction.
Stalinsk was the name of a Soviet Siberian city. In 1929, a garden-city was founded nearby the town Kuznetsk in West Siberian Region. Both settlements merged into the industrial center Novokuznetsk in 1931. In 1932, it changed the name again to Stalinsk and remained so until 1961. Since the 1930s, the city became an important coal mining and industrial center.
Sumgait is located to the north of Baku. It grew up on the site of a tiny village through which trade routes passed. Its fundamental basis was petrochemical industrial facilities, the construction of which began in 1939. After the outbreak of World War II, construction of the city was interrupted and resumed only in 1944. The new city was actually created from scratch. The city plan was prepared in 1948. German prisoners became the main labor force for construction. By 1950, Sumgait had emerged as the largest industrial city in Azerbaijan.
