from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusakov_Workers%27_Club:

The Rusakov Workers' Club (Russian: Дом культуры имени И.В.Русакова (рабочий клуб)) in Moscow is a notable example of constructivist architecture. Designed by Konstantin Melnikov, it was constructed from 1927 to 1928.
In plan, the club resembles a fan; in elevation, it is divided into a base and three cantilevered concrete seating areas. Each of these can be used as a separate auditorium, while if combined, the building seats over 1,000 people. At the rear of the building are more conventional offices. The only visible materials used in its construction are concrete, brick and glass.
The function of the building is to some extent expressed in the exterior, which Melnikov described as a "tensed muscle".
In 2005 a commemorative coin (3 ruble, silver) was issued by the Central Bank of Russia, featuring Rusakov Workers' Club building [1].

Moscow - Day 4 - Moscow, Tsentrosoyuz Building (1933, Le Corbusier) 15

from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsentrosoyuz_building:

The Tsentrosoyuz Building or Centrosoyuz Building[1] (Russian: Центросоюз) is a government structure in Moscow constructed in 1933 by Le Corbusier and Nikolai Kolli. In 1929, the complete set of construction plans for the Tsentrosoyuz building was sent to Moscow and work was started. However, delays were encountered due to the materials shortages caused by Stalin's First Five-Year Plan. The building is a mixed-use facility with office space for 3,500 personnel, as well as a restaurant, lecture halls, a theater, and other facilities. The building is made of reinforced concrete, with sixteen-inch-thick blocks of red tuff stone from the Caucasus serving as insulation between an outside temperature of -40°F and an interior at 66°F. Soviet authorities scrapped plans to air-condition the building. The address of the building is 39 Ulitsa Myasnitskaya.
The Tsentrosoyuz Building was the headquarters of all the soviets, the worker's councils, in the Soviet Union at that day. Nowadays, it is the home of Goskomstat (Russian: Госкомстат), the Russian State Committee for Statistics.
The building was criticized by fellow Swiss architect Hannes Meyer as being "an orgy of glass and concrete".[2] Russian constructivist Alexander Vesnin however called it "the best building to arise in Moscow for over a century".[citation needed]
