Aleksey Shchusev

Aleksey Shchusev was born in Chișinău in 1873 and became one of the leading Russian and Soviet architects, best known for Lenin's Mausoleum in Moscow. In 1947–49 he drew up the plan for the postwar reconstruction of Chișinău, with a group that included Robert Kurtz and Valentin Mednek. The house where he was born is now a museum, on the street named after him.

The archive credits him with Pobeda Park in Tiraspol (1947).
