Viktor Aleksandrovich Vesnin (Russian:Виктор Александрович Веснин; April 9, 1882 – September 17, 1950), was a Russian and Soviet architect. His early works (1909–1915) follow the canon ofNeoclassicist Revival; in the 1920s, he and his brothersLeonid (1880–1933) andAlexander (1883–1959) emerged as leaders ofConstructivist architecture, theVesnin brothers. After the crackdown on Constructivism in 1931-32 and until his death, Viktor Vesnin was the highest-ranked architect in Soviet system, heading the Union of Soviet Architects andAcademy of Architecture. As a lead architect for heavy construction, he supervised many industrial projects, but his own visionary drafts of this period never materialized.[1][2]
