The White House or House of the Government of the Russian Federation, building in Moscow

The White House or House of the Government of the Russian Federation, is a government building in Moscow. It stands on the Krasnopresnenskaya embankment. The building serves as the primary office of the government of Russia and is the official workplace of the Russian Prime Minister. The architects Dmitry Chechulin and Pavel Shteller designed the White House, originally called The House of Soviets. The overall design follows Chechulin's 1934 draft of the Aeroflot building. Construction started in 1965 and ended in 1981. Following the completion of the building in 1981, the Supreme Soviet of Russia, used the White House. The Supreme Soviet of Russia remained in the building until the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, as well as during the first years of the Russian Federation. In 1991 the Soviet Union issued a 50-kopeck stamp depicting the White House and honouring resistance to the 1991 Soviet coup d'etat attempt.
