Built between 1925 and 1928 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, the Derzhprom (State Industry Building) stands as the Soviet Union's first modern skyscraper, rising 108 meters above Freedom Square. Designed by architect Sergei Savvich Serafimov in the Constructivist style, the building exemplifies the modernist architecture that came to define early Soviet design. Its name abbreviates "State Industry," and the structure has been recognized as a distinctive achievement in twentieth-century world architecture, earning its place on UNESCO's Tentative World Heritage List. The building sustained significant damage during a bombing on 28 October 2024.
