According to Arkhnadzor, more than 25 historic buildings were demolished in the capital last year. Among them were examples of Constructivism, eighteenth-century structures and monuments of federal significance:

The House of Culture of the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers in Novosushchevsky Lane
Construction of the building began in the 1920s to a design by the engineer Sergei Gerolsky, as the House of Culture of the transport colleges. Leonid Utyosov, Sviatoslav Richter and Arkady Raikin performed here, and in the 1980s and 1990s it hosted concerts by Aquarium, Kino and Alisa. The decision to demolish it was taken by the Ministry of Transport to make way for a new building for the University of Transport. By November 2025 the building had been dismantled entirely.

The main house of the Prokhorov estate in 2nd Kozhevnichesky Lane
A house built in the eighteenth century (as attested, among other things, by brick stamps of the 1770s). In the nineteenth century the estate passed to the merchant family of the Prokhorovs, and later to a Prussian subject named Berliner. In Soviet times the house remained residential; in recent years it stood empty and fell into ruin. At the beginning of March 2025 it was demolished without any on-site survey and without the permission of the city authorities.

The Kazakov House-School in Zlatoustinsky Lane, a monument of federal significance
The building was erected in 1802 by Matvey Kazakov for the classes of the Palace Architectural School. It was later given a third storey to a design by Konstantin Bykovsky. In 2025 work began under the guise of reconstruction. As a result of that work, the house was dismantled down to the walls of the first and second floors
