The article discloses the implemented projects by the urban planner, which received the letters of honor and different awards by the Soviet government. The peculiarities of urban structures created by this author are examined. The works by the urban planner are disclosed in the context of architecture and urban planning trends that prevailed in the Soviet period. A question is raised whether today, when discussions on the Soviet heritage conservation take place, we can identify the author’s work as a valuable feature of urban structure?</span></p>
