In 1932, the Soviet authorities announced a tender for the construction of the Baku Soviet Palace (later renamed the Government House). The competition was won by well-known architects Lev Rudnev, Vladimir Munts and K. Tkachenko (participant). With some alterations to the project, the building of the Government House was built between 1934 and 1952. The construction of the building also led to construction of Lenin Square (later renamed Azadliq Square) in front of the Government House.
