Russia, Moscow
Under Stalin architectural decisions were not taken at random, he needed to create a popular identity. It was a valuable tool for propaganda. The style imposed by Stalin , was called the "Socialist Realism movement." It aimed to make people and socialism, heroics. It has evolved over time, from the ornamental neo classicism, to architecture of symmetry. These two styles together in Moscow, struck me. They show as much the power of architecture than the architecture of power.
