Subject Information	Stalinist architecture is a stylistic term referring to architecture built from the 1930s to the 1950s under Stalins regime in the USSR and to comparable architecture built in Warsaw Pact countries after World War II. It is characterized by its orientation towards a classical tradition, its monumentality and its representational ornament. Towards the end of the 1950s the style was gradually abandoned because it was considered uneconomical.
