One of the most ambitiousproject of Moscow’s General Plan was the towering Palace of Soviets, a grandiose symbolof the new ruling power, designed to be the largest building in the world and the Soviet responseto the Empire State Building. The winning design by Boris Iofan at the 1933 architecturalcompetition had included an eighty-meter-high Lenin statue on its apex. The master plan wasapproved in 1934, construction began in 1937, and in 1938 the colossal foundations were laid.This Palace was never actually built, but it haunted the Moscow panorama just by virtue of itsabsence and left profound traces in the history of Soviet architecture, marking a tragic eclipseof Modernism.
