- Abstract
In 1944-1954 architect's education in Estonia was carried on in the Tallinn Polytechnic Institute. Altogether 113 architecture students earned their diplomas there. In the fall of 1949 the admission of architecture students was interrupted in compliance with an order from Moscow. In 1950 architecture education was started at the newly established Estonian State Art Institute, where it still takes place. Based on a close reading of the archival documents, the article examines the reasons for this shift, putting it into the historical context of Stalinism, when architects were educated as artists who, together with sculptors and applied artists, were to create a highly decorated Stalinist architecture.
