Above. Narkomfin Building in Central Moscow.  Designed by Moisel Ginsberg as a unique pioneering experiment in communal living.  Now UNESCO listed but the structure is unlikely to be salvagable. More about Narkomfin



Left. Ilya Golosov's Zuev Workers' Club.  Completed in 1928, a series of club rooms and an 850 auditorium.  It is still functioning as a theatre today, although currently under refurbishment and strangely pink.
