(b Prokhory [now in the Primorsky Kray], 19 Feb 1906). Russian architect. He studied from 1927 to 1931 in the Vkhutein (Higher Art Technical Institute), Moscow, and the Moscow Architectural Institute (MAI) under Leonid Vesnin, Aleksandr Vesnin and Konstantin Mel’nikov. The influence of Mel’nikov led to the exaggerated expressiveness of forms in Loveyko’s vestibule of the Dzerzhinskaya (now Lubyanka) metro station (1935; with D. A. Fridman) in Moscow. The restrained classicism of the residential blocks (1934–8) on Kotel’nicheskaya Embankment, Moscow, and overt classicism of the administrative building (1944–7) on Ogaryova Street, Moscow, with its unwieldy Corinthian colonnade, characterized his next phase. In the same vein the Sovetskaya Hotel (1950–52), Moscow, with Viktor Lebedev and Pavel Shteller (1910–77), is more subtle. Under the influence of Moscow’s tall architecture of the late 1940s, he turned to the contemporary revival of Moscow Baroque, as in the 11 to 16-storey residential complex (1952–5), Prospekt Mira 99–103 and 118–22, Moscow. From 1955 to 1960 he was Chief Architect of Moscow and, from 1961, directed the planning and construction of its northern periphery at Degunino–Beskudnikovo and Lianozovo–Bibirevo. Here, in the 1970s, he supervised the construction of vast, well-organized residential complexes, which replaced the self-contained combinations of flats and facilities (Rus. mikrorayon) of previous plans. He also built the Yerevan and Baykal cinemas (early 1970s; with others), Moscow, and the 26-storey Molodyozhnaya Hotel (1980), Dmitrovskoye Road, Moscow. From 1968 to 1986 he was the chief editor of the periodical Stroitel’stvo i Arkhitektura Moskvy (‘Construction and architecture of Moscow’).
