#### Пушкинskaya Street, 82: The Institute of Medical Radiology (1930) The architectural style is characterized by Constructivist Art Deco elements. The idea of establishing an academic radiological research institution in Kharkov was proposed by Dr. S.P. Grigoryev. In the spring of 1920, his proposal to establish a “Radiology Academy” was approved by the Ukrainian People’s Commissariat of Health. However, the premature death of Dr. Grigoryev delayed the establishment of the academy for some time. It was a team of radiologists and physics researchers from Kharkov who brought this idea to reality. In May 1921, the Radiology Academy was allocated a renovated building with eight apartments, and its development began to accelerate. New departments were established one after another: a library with a collection of 1,800 books, a museum featuring more than five thousand radiographs, a museum of anatomical specimens, as well as a inpatient ward and an outpatient clinic. However, in 1927, the institute faced a serious housing shortage. The newly purchased expensive equipment could not be accommodated, and there were not enough beds, resulting in many patients being denied medical treatment. In 1929, funding was allocated for the construction of a new institution building according to a design by architect V.A. Estrovich. The four-story building met all the requirements of a modern educational and medical facility, featuring large classrooms, spacious offices, and comfortable rest areas. The architectural design featured a notable number of windows with various structural solutions. V.A. Estrovich created a distinctive composition for the central entrance, with a protruding corner that combined modern architectural techniques with classical elements in a pleasing way. The vertical volume of the entrance, set within an originally shaped curtain wall, was balanced by corresponding volumes at its corners. This design successfully integrated innovative compositional approaches with traditional architectural principles, blending simplicity and visual richness. This building is considered one of the best medical institutions in the city, thanks to its interesting and innovative architectural design.
