Monuments & Buildings of Petrograd

Petrograd has a lot of planned monuments and buildings. Currently, only two major monuments based on historical Petrograd; The Peter-paul fortress (incomplete) and the town The Smolny Institute. These structures were both built prior to the Russian Revolution however historically they were repurposed for the Soviet Union after the Russian Revolution. The Peter-Paul fortress was home to the Trubetskoi Bastion Prison which hosted Leon Trotsky as a political prisoner. The Smolny Institute is currently used as the main administrative capital building hosting the Congress of Petrograd and the Bolshevik Party.

Other major monuments include Lenin Square, a square built to look like Vladimir Lenin, the revolutionary which helped the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and was a key figure in the Russian Civil War and also the October Revolution and Russian Revolution. The Palace of Soviets, which is planned to be based on the historical Palace of Soviets which was never built, planned to be originally constructed in Moscow. The Palace of Soviets was designed to be an influential building to represent the true power of the Soviet Union and the workers. Construction of the Palace of Soviets is still underway and may take several months of progress and construction.

Other buildings of Petrograd are either residential or used for industry and the collectivisation of resources and also the planned Soviet economy. These buildings are all managed by the workers and the Party. The residential buildings of Petrograd are completely free for immigration and new residents of Petrograd.
