Trotsky, Noy (Abramovich)
(b St Petersburg, 27 March 1895; d Leningrad [now St Petersburg], 19 Nov 1940). Russian architect. He studied (1913–19) at the Academy of Arts, St Petersburg, under Ivan Fomin, who was an influence throughout his career. From 1919 to 1921 he attended the Second Polytechnical Institute, Petrograd, where he was taught by Andrey Belogrud. As a student he successfully took part with L. M. Tverskoy (1899–1972) in competitions in Petrograd, producing for example designs for the Crematorium (1919), people’s platforms (1919) and the thermae on Vatny Island (1920), all of which verge on the extreme of romantic symbolism and reveal the influence of Piranesi’s etchings. His design (1923; unexecuted) for the Palace of Labour, Moscow, was awarded first prize and earned wide recognition for his revolutionary style.
