Summary:

"This book surveys two centuries of Russian history through a succession of ambitious architectural projects designed for a single construction site in central Moscow. Czars, Bolshevik rulers, and contemporary Russian leaders alike have dreamed of glorious monuments to themselves and their ideologies on this site, The history of their efforts reflects the story of the nation itself and its repeated attempts to construct or reconstruct its identity and to repudiate or resuscitate emblems of the past. The book explores each project intended for this ideologically charged site and documents with fifty-nine illustrations the grand projects that were built as well as those that were only dreamed."--Jacket.
