Sad that when the WW2 started Soviet union was in need of metal they had to deconstruct the Palace and use it's part's in army manufacturing.

They really should’ve pulled this off. It was a brilliant design. They didn’t want to base the entire city off of the automobile.

[@user-pf3kv4bv5s]

They used the same art deco style

[@stickynorth]

Palace of the Soviets STILL needs to be built, Cathedral be damned... ;-)

So from our current perspective which of the shown building plans are still standing ?

[@johnnyonenote2755]

All of those buildings are still standing. Some of them weren't completed or weren't built.
