🚶 Sotsgorod

пр. Октября

A Stalinist "garden city" at the car plant: grand 1930s buildings, a department store, the Mir cinema and wide avenues.

Construction of Sotsgorod began on 16 May 1930 with the laying of the first house.
The first stage was the "pyatak": five four-story blocks joined by passages on the second floor.
It was conceived as a "garden city" with zoning: factory, transport, greenery and housing kept separate.
At first commune houses with shared kitchens were built: workers' leisure was meant to go to sport, theater and cinema.
From 1936 standard building gave way to "Stalinist Empire" style — that's how the department store, the Mir cinema and the "radius house" appeared.
