"Stalinist architecture" edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Can we please not perpetuate baseless claims? The building was rebuilt on a limited budget after WWII, so reconstruction to the original state was impossible.

The 1947 rebuilding was designed by Pavel Krat, a Russian emigre modernist architect (and supposedly a KGB-collaborator), who lived and worked in Belgrade well before WWII. The same man is credited by the Russian modernist architect Vladimir Somov for bringing "Western European architecture" to Moscow in the 1950s.

There are also buildings by other architects in Belgrade in the similar style, built in the 1930s, including the Dr. Đurić Apartment Block by Branislav Kojić. The rebuilding in 1947 was consistent with the style that already existed in pre-war Belgrade.
