On April 24, in the Oak Hall of the Rumyantsev Mansion there will be a lecture “Petrograd in 1917-1924 ”, where many projects of the post-Rovoluchny plan of the city's development will be told. Some of the unrealized architectural projects of that time have become legendary.

For example, the German newspaper “Frankfurter Allgemeine” wrote with great sympathy about one of the architectural designs of the Bolsheviks - “Tatlin's Tower” as a monument dedicated to the III International. It was to be built in Petrograd, and a seven-meter model stood in the House of Soviets in Moscow. Mayakovsky called the future gigantic structure of glass and steel 400 meters high, similar to the Tower of Babel, “The first monument without a beard”, and the Commissar of Public Education Lunacharsky called it “a monster”. The model has not survived, but there are models in the Tretyakov Gallery and the Pompidou Center in Paris.
