| contents | <p>The article reviews current academic knowledge of Soviet architecture from the 1930s to 1950s, often labeled as Stalinist architecture, a term that implies Joseph Stalin as its ultimate author. It recognizes the impossibility of covering all aspects of Stalinist architecture in one article, thus focusing on the most significant research trends. Key trends include the search for precise terminology to avoid journalistic exaggerations such as "Stalinist Empire style," while accurately reflecting the architectural process dynamics over two decades and situating Soviet architecture within a global, especially Western, context. Methodologically, an empirical approach predominates, with ongoing efforts to identify and systematize material. Additionally, there is growing importance placed on micro-historical and biographical studies centered on specific regions and individuals. The article also highlights challenges in the research process, notably the increasing politicization and re-ideologization of academic discourse in architectural history.</p> |
