Mates, esp. who are involving in architecture, I'd like to ask you mates about Stalinist architecture.

As we know that Stalinist architecture, from it's name, are derived from the "taste" of Stalin. Various buildings with this kind of architecture are present in Eastern Europe.

BTW, when I saw a Stalinist building for the 1st time, I had an imagination that this is a combination of a minimalist, Baroque/Rococo, Renaissance, ancient Roman, & Paris-London-style architecture. And, the design of most Stalinist structure looks "wow".

BTW, what does this kind of architecture wishes to reflect?
