Stalinist architecture (Russian: ??????????? ?????? – Stalin’s Empire style or Russian: ??????????? ????????????? – Stalin’s Neo-renaissance), also referred to as Stalinist Gothic, or Socialist Classicism, is a term given to architecture of the Soviet Union between 1933, when Boris Iofan’s draft for Palace of the Soviets was officially approved, and 1955, when Nikita Khrushchev condemned "excesses" of the past decades and disbanded the Soviet Academy of Architecture.
Stalinist architecture has associations with the socialist realism school of art & architecture.
