==Life==

'''Alexey Nikolayevich Dushkin''' ([[24 December]] [[1904]] - [[8 October]] [[1977]]) was a [[Soviet]] architect, best known for his 1930s designs of [[Kropotkinskaya]] and [[Mayakovskaya]] stations of [[Moscow Metro]]. He worked primarily for subway and railroads and is also noted for his Red Gates administrative building, one of [[Seven Sisters]].

In November 1955, Dushkin's railroad terminals became a subject of Khruschev's famous decree "On liquidation of excesses in construction...", which spelled the end of Stalinist architecture. Khruschev asserted that costs and volume of these buildings were inflated three times above reasonable estimates. Work of Dushkin's junior architects was ostracized too. Dushkin lost his chair of Chief Railway Architect.
