Pokrovka Street 20 is a postconstructivist apartment building in Russia, designed by architect Lazar Cherikover and completed in 1934. The structure exemplifies the Soviet postconstructivist style of the interwar period, a phase that followed the more radical avant-garde constructivism of the 1920s with a somewhat more pragmatic approach to residential design and urban housing.
