The All-Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow (former VDNKh) is still one of the largest attractions in the capital. However, few people guess how many truly mystical secrets are associated with this grandiose monument of the Soviet era, starting from the very day of its foundation.
The decree on the organization of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition (All-Union Agricultural Exhibition) was signed by Stalin on February 17, 1935, at the Second All-Union Congress of Collective Farmers-Shock Workers. The exhibition was placed in the area of Ostankino Park.
It was supposed to open the exhibition by 1937, but the opening took place only in 1939. The giant complex covered an area of 136 hectares and included 250 buildings, not counting ponds and parks.
They say that at that time there was a closed Beskudnikovskaya metro line, which brought cattle to the exhibition.
During the Great Patriotic War, the exhibition was closed, while taking care of the safety of exhibits, in particular, livestock. The pavilions did not work, anti-aircraft batteries were installed on the territory of the Supreme Council of National Economy … Only more than three years after the end of the war, in 1948, the USSR Council of Ministers decided to resume the work of the exhibition from 1950. In fact, this happened only in 1954.
And on May 1, 1958, the VSKhV metro station was opened. On December 12, 1959, after the unification of agricultural, industrial and construction exhibitions into the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy, the station was renamed VDNKh. Since 1992 the exhibition has been renamed VVTs - All-Russian Exhibition Center.
The project of the future exhibition was entrusted to develop the architect Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Oltorzhevsky. It is not known whether he thought of this himself, or someone suggested, but the initial general plan of the complex resembled … the solar system. The center of the exhibition was the Mechanization Square. It resembled the Sun in shape, with nine pavilion planets around.
According to other sources, the Mechanization Square symbolized the Tree of Life, from which four source roads departed. According to the architect's idea, a huge figure of V. I. Lenin. The entire system was enclosed in a regular octagon. In addition, numerous symbols of Christian, Buddhist and Hindu mythology were “encrypted” in the project.

Connoisseurs of esotericism claim: the pompous, with columns, VDNKh buildings were in fact cult sanctuaries. Marxist philosophy was nothing more than the cult of materialism. The embodiment of matter in the minds of the masses was food - meat, milk, bread … In their honor, temples were erected.
Alas, Oltorzhevsky did not manage to fully realize his plan. He was arrested and exiled to a camp near Vorkuta, where he had to build barracks for prisoners. Other specialists were instructed to finalize the exhibition project.
In 1942 Oltorzhevsky was released. He returned to Moscow and again found himself in the favor of the leader, personally advising Stalin on high-rise construction. According to rumors, until his death in 1966, the architect never once visited the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy and did not admire his brainchild …
The previous master plan was indeed radically changed. So, from the center, from the Mechanization Square, they "removed" the sculpture of Lenin, which was supposed to appear there according to the original project. And on the place where the statue of Stalin himself was supposed to rise, the Friendship of Peoples fountain was opened.
In 1961, after Yuri Gagarin's flight into space, a monument to the Conquerors of Space was erected near the main entrance, and a copy of the rocket on which the first cosmonaut flew around the Earth was placed on the Mechanization Square. It was installed in the very place where the architect Oltorzhevsky was going to place the statue of Lenin …
It can be assumed that Stalin's entourage included people with occult knowledge. And it was they who advised the leader to create a cult complex capable of strengthening the power of the Bolsheviks. But in order for the system to work, all its elements had to be coordinated with each other in a certain order.
Perhaps this explains the absence of statues of proletarian leaders: they could disrupt the harmony of space. Most likely, Oltorzhevsky was removed from sight only for the reason that he became an amateur: who knows how the fate of the country would have developed if the construction had been carried out according to the original plan?
