Built in 1949 in the Ramenki District of Moscow, the Biology and Soil building at Moscow State University exemplifies Stalinist architecture, the monumental style that dominated Soviet institutional construction in the post-war era. Designated a regional cultural heritage site in Russia, the structure represents an important example of the architectural ambitions of mid-twentieth-century Soviet academic planning.
