1918-1953 - an epoch in the life of Moscow, which determined the modern look of the city. New Moscow of constructivists and masters of the 'Stalinist style': plans and sketches, erected buildings and demolished monuments, utopian projects and official orders. We will see how Moscow changed, which again received the status of the capital, how whole neighborhoods appeared and disappeared. This is the time of the creation and realization of the General Plan of Reconstruction and Development of Moscow (1935), which created the image of a new city - the capital of the socialist world. The sections presented are: 'Destroyed Moscow', 'Utopia' and 'Empire', including an extensive series of photo galleries accompanied by thematic articles. The appendices 'The History of Moscow Tramway', 'Songs about Moscow' and 'Moscow in the Literature of the 20-30s' contain works by A. Barto, M. Bulgakov, A. Zhid, E. Zamyatin, I. Ilf and E. Petrov, M. Koltsov. Petrov, M. Koltsov, S. Rozanov, L. Feuchtwanger, A. Chayanov and others. The publication will serve as a valuable source of information for all those interested in the history of Moscow - art historians, architects, historians, culturologists, and Muscovites. The illustrations give an idea of how Moscow looked like and how its appearance changed. Literary and musical materials place the city's architectural history in a broader cultural context, and the essays accompanying the photographs will serve as valuable reference material.
