“A symphony in white,” remarked a visitor in 1954, captivated by the snow-white pavilion. We stand before Pavilion No. 44, “Krolikovodstvo”. This elegant building, designed by architect Alexander Zaitsev, replaced its predecessor, Pavilion No. 41. Pavilion No. 44, “Krolikovodstvo”, opened its doors in 1954. It was dedicated to the world of rabbit breeding. The pavilion showcased the success of rabbit farms and homesteads across the Soviet Union. It highlighted the methods and advancements of raising these furry creatures. The pavilion’s name, “Krolikovodstvo” translates to “Rabbit Farming”. It served as a testament to the importance of rabbit breeding in Soviet agriculture. Beyond the walls of Pavilion No. 44, visitors could explore a captivating outdoor exhibit. It featured a variety of rabbit breeds. These included the Chinchilla, Blue Vienna, White Giant, Angora, and more. An onsite rabbit farm provided a glimpse into the real-life operations of breeding and caring for these animals. The rabbits hailed from the most successful collective farms, showcasing the best of Soviet rabbit farming. The pavilion was not just a display of rabbits; it was a celebration of Soviet agricultural prowess, showcasing the nation’s commitment to self-sufficiency. Sadly, Pavilion No. 44, “Krolikovodstvo”, is now closed for restoration. Its snow-white facade stands patiently awaiting its return to glory, ready to once again share the story of Soviet rabbit farming with the world.
