Viktor Vesnin
Viktor Aleksandrovich Vesnin, was a Russian Soviet architect. His early works follow the canon of Neoclassicist Revival; in the 1920s, he and his brothers Leonid and Alexander emerged as leaders of Constructivist architecture, the Vesnin brothers. After the crackdown on Constructivism in 1931-32 and until his death, Viktor Vesnin was the highest-ranked architect in Soviet system, heading the Union of Soviet architects and Academy of Architecture. As a lead architect for heavy construction, he supervised many industrial projects, but his own visionary drafts of this period never materialized.Selected Work
