The Resolution of the CPSU Central Committee and the USSR Council of Ministers “On Elimination of Excesses in Design and Construction” and Its Impact on Saratov Architecture in the mid–1950s
The article examines the resolution “On elimination of excesses in design and construction” implemented in a large provincial city and analyzes its perception by the city’s architectural establishment and its effect on Saratov’s urban environment. Although “The struggle against excesses” disallowed to construct a number of architectural projects in the 1950s, the Soviet Neoclassicism and the principles of ribbon development dominated in the city up until the early 1960s.
Keywords:
Soviet architecture of the 1950s, “struggle against excesses”, urban space, Saratov.
