However, the real history of the Wings of the Soviets lies in a special building - the Great Domed Hall, built in the 1930s. This hall is an outstanding engineering creation of its time and was built by famous architects L.L. Lurie, N.A. Metelin and V.S. Minakov on the site of the pre-revolutionary buildings of the merchant P. P. Ryabushinsky.
The wooden domed covering of the Great Domed Hall is a prominent feature from the 1930s and is included in the World History of Architectural Encyclopedia.
Despite the fact that the hall was created for a different purpose, today training and events in a wide variety of sports take place in its open spaces. USC “Wings of the Soviets” is a historical, but at the same time modern complex that is ready to provide everyone with the best conditions for playing sports.
