Радянський модернізм. Бруталізм. Постмодернізм . Будівлі та споруди 1955-1991 років в Україні

This narration explores Soviet architecture in Ukraine as more than a background for daily life. It treats buildings as historical evidence—sometimes painful, sometimes impressive, often contradictory—showing how political shifts, economic reforms, and cultural pressures shaped the streets and skylines of entire cities.

Across seven chapters, we move from postwar modernism and the housing push of the “Thaw,” into the Brezhnev era’s changing priorities, the rise of an official, state-driven “brutalism,” the quieter emergence of regional and unofficial Ukrainian schools, and finally the strange, contested arrival of Soviet postmodernism during perestroika. The closing invites listeners to observe their own cities with more care and curiosity.

• Listeners who want a calm, human-paced introduction to Soviet-era architecture in Ukraine—without needing a technical background.
• Anyone interested in how politics and economics quietly shape everyday spaces, from housing blocks to government buildings.
• Students and curious travelers looking for a simple framework to recognize modernism, brutalism, and postmodernism in real streets and neighborhoods.
