At Saint Petersburg's House of Radio, the restoration of the grand antechamber has been completed. The method chosen here is rather unusual: not a return to a single era, but a combination of different historical layers: pre-revolutionary, Soviet, perestroika-era and contemporary. Coffered ceilings, Pompeian-style murals, paired columns and carved balusters have been restored alongside bas-reliefs of Lenin and Marx and Soviet light fittings.

During the Siege, Leningrad radio went out on air from this building; it now houses a multifunctional space of the musicAeterna project.
