1925 International Art Exhibition in Paris. The chief architect of the European avant-garde, Le Corbusier, declares: "... the only thing that deserves attention is the pavilion of Konstantin Melnikov." Since then, the whole world has been following the fate of the Soviet architect. He designs Lenin's sarcophagus, builds garages and clubs, but, most importantly, creates his own home. A house that would become the pinnacle of his creativity, and later a prison for the author himself. The architect's career will be ended by his student, who issued him a ban on the profession. And all subsequent projects will remain on paper. What did the star architect of the Russian avant-garde leave behind?
