Viktor Vesnin

Viktor Aleksandrovich Vesnin (Russian: Виктор Александрович Веснин; April 9, 1882 – September 17, 1950), was a Russian and Soviet architect.

His early works (1909–1915) follow the canon of Neoclassicist Revival; in the 1920s, he and his brothers Leonid (1880–1933) and Alexander (1883–1959) emerged as leaders of Constructivist architecture, the Vesnin brothers.

After the crackdown on Constructivism in 1931-32 and until his death, Viktor Vesnin was the highest-ranked architect in Soviet system, heading the Union of Soviet Architects and Academy of Architecture.

As a lead architect for heavy construction, he supervised many industrial projects, but his own visionary drafts of this period never materialized.
