Vopra

    0.01 sec.
Vopra 

(full name, All-Russian Society of Proletarian Architects; later, All-Union Association of Proletarian Architects). Founded in 1929. It was similar in its ideological and creative directions to the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers and the Proletarian Cultural and Educational Organization. VOPRA members (among them, K. S. Alabian, A. V. Vlasov, and A. G. Mordvinov) proclaimed the creation of a new proletarian architecture (based on mechanization, standardization, and the advanced capabilities of the building industry), class-committed in form and content, whose mission was to serve the needs of the proletariat and of a new collective way of life. VOPRA was incorporated into the Union of Soviet Architects in 1932.
