The Kremlin Palace is called the "brainchild of thaw." The fact is that GKD was built in the Epoch of Khrushchev, in 1961. Nikita Sergeyevich himself called the 1st architect on the festive banquet.
Shahin is an outstanding architect, it was he who owned the idea of \u200b\u200bthe draft current GKD. Its option turned out to be the best in the closed contest of the projects of the Kremlin Palace.
How many places are the GKD?
Initially, it was planned to build a palace for 4 thousand seats. However, Khrushchev was struck by the Beijing Palace of Congresses by 10 thousand places (he was built in 1959) and decided to make adjustments to expand the palace.
As a result GKD built with a calculation of 6 thousand seats.

Located in the heart of the capital of Russia - in the ancient Moscow Kremlin, the State Kremlin Palace was built in 1961 for 16 months - in the shortest possible time - with the active support of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev. The choice of space for the construction of the palace was a particularly responsible task. The location of this monumental structure should have complied with its socio-political role. Construction of a palace in the territory of the Moscow Kremlin - a place sacred for the Russian man, the most fully answered these high requirements. The Moscow Kremlin is not only an outstanding historical and architectural monument of the past, but, above all, the center of our capital, the focus of the highest authorities of the country. It was here that it was decided to implement the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding the palace. A closed competition began to create a project project. Among the twelve proposed project options, the winner and, in the future, Mikhail Vasilyevich Posokhin became the head of the architects of architects. This outstanding architect awarded for the project Kremlin Palace The Lenin Prize was at that time the chief architect of Moscow and the head of the main architectural and planning department of the city.
In the author's team included: Architects A. A. Montoyantz, E. N. Stamo, P. P. Schteller, N. M. Schepetilnikov; Engineers N. Lvov, A. N. Kondratyev, S. Ya. Schoolchildren, T. A. Melik-Arakelyan and many others, in the future also awarded the Lenin Prize for this project. At the design stage, the building was divided into three main components, each of which was developed by a separate group of people. Hall created E. N. Stamo with his brigade. The lobby was designed by the P. P. Schteler group, and the facades were developed under the leadership of A. A. Movoyanz. When it started detailed project development, construction zones have become much larger. Government, "closed", part created the architect KGB G. V. Makarevich. Winter Garden Designed K. Zarakyan. The facade, which goes into the Terem Palace, created V. Loktev.
In the initial version, the hall was designed for 4000 seats. In the future, the scale of the Kremlin Palace was decided to increase. The indirect "culprits" of this turned out to be Chinese architects. In 1959, China was celebrated in China, and therefore, it was decided to build ten major buildings in Beijing, among which also planned the Palace of Congresses, designed for 10,000 places with a huge banquet hall. N. S. Khrushchev, who was present at the celebrations, was struck by this construction and spoke about him M. V. Rocohin.
A new stage of work began. It was decided not only to increase the meeting room to 6,000 places, but also, most importantly, design a banquet hall of maximum capacity. To familiarize yourself with the experience of building such buildings, a group of main authors left in Germany and the United States. Many ideas of architecture elements were then brought from abroad, in particular the interior of the UN meeting room in New York, lined upwards at the time of a wooden slash, was almost imported to the Kremlin. Less representative delegation was sent to Beijing to adopt the experience of designing a banquet hall. The building grew. Another level from the Arsenal side and several floors underground were added to accommodate the increased visual landings. The banquet hall in the end decided to build up the upper part of the building, right above the auditorium.
Many disputes caused the development of architectural solutions of facades. There were many options: from almost closed with arcades to absolutely transparent. So the well-known silhouette of the Kremlin Palace silhouette formed in stages. Simple, geometrically clean and clear architectural forms caused a solemn noble flavor of the interior of the palace. The magnifier, the restraint of the decor, so typical for the ancient Russian architecture, allowed the palace to fit perfectly into the ensemble of buildings of the Moscow Kremlin - the ensemble, in which every century left its unique white-name features. By the summer of 1961, the huge building of the Kremlin Palace was built and decorated from the outside by white Ural marble, golden anodized aluminum and glass, and inside the Red Carbachtinsky granite, Marble Coele and the patched Baku tuff. In the decoration of walls and set of parquets, ash, oak, beech, Pacific and Grab was used. The coat of arms of multicolored smalt was performed according to sketches and under the guidance of the famous artist A. A. Deineki. The curtain, which is a decorative panel of thin chased metal sheets, was made by the masters of the Latvian Foundation under the leadership of H. M. Rysin on the sketch of Professor A. A. Myotov.
On a banquet dedicated to the completion of the construction of the Palace of Congresses, the squad called the first architects of this global project ... Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, and the Kremlin Palace - the "brainchild of thaws." In a commemorative day of the opening of the Palace on October 17, 1961, the audience was presented with a program of a festive concert, which included a fragment of the ballet "Swan Lake" and performances of artists of various genres.
The Kremlin Palace as the theater and concert area from the first days of work was available at the disposal of the Bolshoi Theater of the USSR as a second scene. For decades in the Kremlin Palace, the opera and ballet performances of the current repertoire were launched and the premieres of the Academic Bolshoi Theater of the USSR were produced with the participation of its outstanding soloists and orchestra. Constructed primarily for mass socio-political events, the Kremlin Palace has become a venue for party and trade union forums of the 60s - 80s. The XXII - XXVII Congresses of the CPSU were held in his walls. In addition, legendary singing and dance groups, such as the State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble under the leadership of Igor Moiseeva, were successfully played on the GKD stage, such as the State Academic Dance Ensemble of Song and Dance of the Russian Army named after A. V. Alexandrova, State Academic Russian People's Choir named M . E. Pyatnitsky, Academic choreographic ensemble "Birch" and many others. Scene of the Kremlin Palace remembers the virtuoso dance of Olga Lepushinsky, Maya Plisetskaya, Natalia Immortalova, Ekaterina Maximova, Lyudmila Semensyaki, Marisa Liepa, Vladimir Vasilyeva, Mikhail Lavrovsky; Uniquewriting the votes of the famous soloists of the Opera Bolshoi: Galina Vishnevskaya, Elena Exenamental, Tamara Milashkina, Irina Arkhipova, Tamara Sinyava, Bella Rudenko, Macquala Castrashvili, Zuraba Skykilava, Vladislav Pyavko, Alexander Vedernikova, etc. Many historical and memorable events took place in the building Palace. The first congresses of deputies were held here, when the formation of a young Russian democracy took place in a furious match. It was on this scene that the oath of the first president of sovereign Russia was pronounced. In 1992 by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Kremlin Palace of Congresses (CDS) was transformed into the State Kremlin Palace (GKD). Today, the Kremlin Palace is managed by the Office of the President of the Russian Federation.
The State Kremlin Palace firmly consolidated the title of the Central Theater and Concert Platage of the country. Its special status is due to the fact that it is located on the territory of the residence of the President of the Russian Federation - in the Moscow Kremlin. This implies a great public significance of events held here.
Today, the auditorium of the Kremlin Palace is one of the best in the world. After comprehensive modernization of sound and light equipment carried out in 2013, he stood up, according to authoritative specialists, in one row with such famous halls of the world, like Carnegi Hall and Irwin Plas in New York, "Shreine Auditorium "In Los Angeles, Olympia in Paris, the Royal Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, the Hall" Stravinsky "in Montre.
