He committed suicide after falling out with Stalin in 1937, the year of the sanatorium's completion. Despite the prevailing ideology that sought to outlaw modernism in favour of Stalinist neoclassicism, architect Moisei Ginzburg, with a team that included Ivan Leonidov, Evgeny Popov, and Nikolai Paliudov, succeeded in creating an architectural ensemble that essentially retained its modernist integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it remains a masterpiece of 1930s modernism, while making only minor concessions to the new Stalinist orthodoxy. In the early Soviet period, Kislovodsk in the northern Caucasus became known as a centre for health spas and sanatoria — 'palaces of health for the workers'.
