Those found that the image of great power was easier achievable with classical pastiche. And the great lesson behing is that even when there is people dreaming about a better future for the masses there is always a political view that only thinks on their convenience and destroys the good will behind. The problems with communism comes from the politics that are on control, not from the people that were trying to improve the way of living. The proof is that communist countries didn't turn out anything close to those images, and many of the artists and architects from that period were forced to change their views or even to end their carriers to become something else.
