Vladimir Promyslov

Vladimir Fyodorovich Promyslov (Russian: Владимир Фёдорович Промыслов; 28 August 1908 – 22 May 1993) was a Soviet politician.

A professional builder, Promyslov graduated from Moscow Construction Engineering Institute, and was appointed head of the Moscow construction department by Nikita Khrushchev.

In 1963 he was appointed chairman of the Moscow Executive Committee, a position equivalent to that of Mayor.

During his term the Ostankino Tower, the Rossiya Hotel, and dozens of new subway stations were built.

Promyslov also oversaw the completion of the administrative subdivisions reform, which divided Moscow into 20 raions.
