Filip Rekhmukov, Karelo-Finnish Pavillion, VDNKH, 1954

karelia may not be european
but they sure seem like they are
This is less their traditional style and more of a grandiose style well-liked during the Soviet era.
Although it is a fairly unique type of building, since the Khruschev era saw a decline of grandiose neoclassical buildings.

I quite enjoy the combination of Stalin Empire style and the national architectural styles in these pavillions
“stalin empire” kek
More of a Russian word, not used in the West, but it is still an academic term.

Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade
Invested by Putin <:chad:508484033513259028>
The Russian Academy of Arts under the guidance of Nikolay Mukhin is currently working on the internal decoration. <:chad:508484033513259028>
The total painted area of the dome is 1,230 m2 (13,200 sq ft). It is one of the largest curved area decorated with the mosaic technique and when the work is completely finished, Saint Sava will be the largest church ornamented this way. <:chad:508484033513259028>
It is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world and ranks among the largest church buildings in the world. <:chad:508484033513259028>

Ever notice how Mosques look just like Orthodox Cathedrals sans icons and images?
Almost like the Muzzies stole all their architecture from the Byzantines or something
Because thats what they did
"Waah waah, cultural appropriation!"
