Palace of Pioneers in the city of Barnaul as an architectural landmark of Soviet monumental classicism: history and problems of preservation of the building
Due to the implementation of the restoration of the building, the author carried out historical and bibliographic researches about the architectural monument «the Palace of Pioneers». While collecting of information the author found out that construction of the building was carried out at the expense of the funds left from the monetary and clothing lottery conducted by the Komsomol Central Committee. The lottery was organized due to VI World Festival of Youth and Students and based on the multiple-unit housing project of the Ryazan House of Pioneers (1957, the architect I.P. Antipov) with an exception of an excessive decoration. The two-story brick building with a central three-story part was built in 1963.
