MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : In post-Soviet Ukraine the value of Soviet Modernism architecture is underestimated. Despite the victory of the Soviet Union in WWII and its competition with Western powers over decades, independent Ukrainains today associate the Soviet architecture with its dark times of the totalitarian regime. The unawareness of the importance is threatening these buildings with extinction. Political and economical situations in the country have shifted the issue of conservation to a secondary concern. Unfortunately even the most prominent individual buildings suffer from the indifference of the authorities and the public. However, the ruins, monuments and abandoned buildings of the Soviet epoch uncover a vast source of architectural expressions and metaphors of the political movements of that time. Architectural identity unwinds the ambitious avant garde constructivism, representational style of Stalinism and the rebelling calls of Brutalism. As a communicative tool, Soviet architecture metaphors have a vast impact on the social and cultural identity of the present Ukrainians and affect the formation of the future generations. Historically rich structures of Soviet times should be reinvigorated with a contemporary approach. The abandoned, neglected and ruined Soviet buildings, should be protected and reused, by bringing back awareness to the public. Several interrelated components of preserving the authenticity and integrity of the architectural and urban Soviet heritage of Ukraine must be taken into account: the physical recovery of objects, the increasing of the value of architectural heritage in the public consciousness and its introduction to modern culture, and the search for effective, legally sound levers to stimulate user interest towards its preservation and support. This research thesis explores the architecture of the Soviet era, the metaphors entwined into the construction and proposes a strategy of Adaptive Reuse with the purpose of revival of the existing Soviet buildings instead of their demolishment and decay. The Adaptive Reuse strategy is a necessary and effective solution to prolong life of Soviet architecture in Ukraine. The expired program of the initial host structure can be replaced with a new relevant program, which as a result will have a positive economical and social impact. Adaptive Reuse interventions, will save and reinforce the "DNA" of the heritage building of post-Soviet Ukraine. The implementation of the contemporary social needs will integrate new identity and metaphors into the historic Soviet buildings. Joining and entwining the metaphors of the past Soviet ideology and the present modern world, will not only preserve cultural heritage but also create unique projects that can benefit the local population, save financial and ecological resources by eliminating the need of demolition and new construction.
