Biography
Nikolai Fedorovich Brovkin was born on February 22 ( March 7 ) 1916 in Petrograd into a working-class family. He studied at LISI , after graduating from a university ( 1940 ) he worked at the Vyborgproject Institute, and at the beginning of World War II he went to the front. During one of the battles he was wounded and captured. In the camps secretly kept a diary with sketches, planning to create a "Black Book". This work has never been published; after the architect’s death, the album was transferred to the Memorial Society . On May 8, 1945, the concentration camp in which Brovkin was located was liberated by the Red Army and almost immediately the architect was able to create his first independent professional work - the stele in Görlitz , dedicated to the victory over fascism. Subsequently, N.F. Brovkin became the author of architectural solutions of many monuments erected in various settlements of the USSR. According to the historian of architecture V. G. Isachenko , the monuments created by N. F. Brovkin “are characterized by severity, conciseness of lines and volumes, a connection with a specific environment” [1]
In the 1950s, a project competition for the House of Soviets in Penza was announced. The winner is the work of N. F. Brovkin, co-authored with M. N. Mikhailov and L. Yu. Halperin . After the construction of the building in Penza, the project was adopted and repeated in 13 cities of the Soviet Union, including in Balashov , Lipetsk , Novgorod , Orel and Cherkassy .
