Book synopsis

This richly illustrated monograph discusses post-war modernist architecture in Soviet Lithuania which, together with other Baltic republics, has been seen as exceptional, appropriating Western cultural models much faster and with greater passion, and was labelled "the Soviet West." Nevertheless, the matter of identifying the speci c architectural traits that distinguished modernism in the Baltic region from that of other Soviet republics is not a simple exercise, and the speci city of socialist modernism clearly requires a social-political approach. In this book research on Soviet Lithuanian architecture relies on the relationship between of cial planning discourse and local social practice, and the wide range of historical actors in planning practices.
