Историческая справка
So called the “Budyonnovskiy Poselok” (Budyonny township) is formed by a score of apartment buildings with a single address “Bolshaya Pochtovaya Ulitsa 18/20”. It was designed and built in 1927-29 by a group of architects under the leadership of Mikhail Motylyov. The flats were intended for Red Army officers; this explains why the township is called after Soviet military commander Semyon Budyonny. The rectangular district consists of S-and L-shaped buildings. The unique but only partially realized feature of the project was an arc-shaped passage separating two parts of the district (see the rendering). This passage should have given an opportunity to perceive buildings “in motion” while moving along it. Beyond that, some parts of the facades were painted in red, forming a threedimensional suprematic composition. Some of these painted surfaces still exist. Nowadays the living conditions are rather poor: there are no elevators, in some flats even bathtubs are absent, and around 40% of apartments are multifamily. The local prefecture asserts that the township should be demolished and that a new construction should start afterwards. The city development committee has declined the request for demolition, but the prospects are still clouded. Of course, the better option would be to renovate the buildings similarly to some other constructivist townships. // The original project by Mikhail Motylyov
