"The essential elements of our architecture are conditioned by the social revolution," wrote one of the founders of Soviet Constructivism, El Lissitzky. Post-revolutionary Russia became a real testing ground for new movements, and artists of Modernist and Constructivist provenance eagerly embarked on the construction of a new (better) reality. The driving force behind the modernisation processes was to be the development of industry (especially heavy industry). The examples of projects from the 1920s and 1930s in the USSR allow us to assess the enormous impact that modern construction and urban planning had on the process of shaping the "new man". Numerous buildings of avant-garde architecture carried with them the image of the "new world" and became messengers of the new communist ideology
