Ashmjany 2015 (part IV/X): Soviet-era architecture along Savjetskaja Street.
Soviet architecture started out as a project to mirror the Soviet political agenda of destroying the past. However, after an initial spurt of creativity (constructivism, expressionism) in the 1920s, Soviet architecture lost its ability to offer anything of creative merit. For the most part Soviet-era buildings are a reversion to a conservative and hackneyed, if Leviathan, use of classical elements.
