Architects

Throughout the 20th century, Jewish architects played a pivital role in shaping Moscow’s architectural landscape, from the avant garde exxperiments of the 1920sto the monumental Stalinist skyscrapers of the post- war era. Born in cities with significant Jewish populations- Odessa, Minsk, and the Pale of Settlement- these architects brought diverse influences to the Soviet capital, often navigating the complex pressures of state- sponsered antisemitism while contributing to some of the most iconic buildings in Russian history.
