Residental building in the Vosstaniya Square. V. Oltarzhevsky, I. Kuznetsov. 1947

Architects V.Oltarzhevsky and A.Mordvinov worked together on the plans of the high-rise building of the "Ukraina" hotel on Kutuzovsky Prospekt (1954). V. Oltarzhevsky devoted much time to architectural theory and methods of constructing tall buildings. In 1953 he published a book, "High-rise Construction in Moscow", in which he tried to establish links between this type of architecture and the traditions of Russian building, He was particularly interested in the construction and versatility of methods of technically equipping the "high-rises". Oltarzhevsky's project was never realised. The tall building on Vosstaniya Square was constructed to a plan by the architects H. Posokhin and A. Midoyants (1953).
