Old Parliament Building

The Fudzhi Grand Soviet Building or Old Parliament Building is a building in Fudzhi which currently serves as the temporary seat for the Vandistan Parliament. It also served as the Seat of the Supreme Soviet of Vandurc and the Vandistan parliament from 1993 to 2016. It was simultaneously the headquarters of the KPV until 1993. Located in the north of the city, it stands 84 metres tall, surrounded mostly by offices and factories. Currently it is the Communist Party of Vandurc's Headquarters.
== Architecture ==
The building was designed by Soviet architect Dmitry Chechulin who also designed the Moscow White House. It is similar to it with the exception of the shape and colour, that being two symmetrical towers connected by a shorter body of the building and a darker shade of grey respectively. The interior is also similar to that of the White House though there have been many renovations and redesigns throughout the years.
== History ==
The construction began in 1970 after around 2 years of planning, at the same time, construction of the Moscow White House was ongoing which slowed down the construction speed of the project significantly. Upon its completion in 1978 and following a year of preparations, it began seating the KPV and the Supreme Soviet of Vandurc. After the civil war ousted the KPV from power, the building served as the parliament of Vandistan until the capital moved to Longyearbyen in 2016. It then remained vacant under government posession until 2024 when Councillor May founded a KPV successor party. She then embezzled the entire building from the government and moved the KPV headquarters there. The KPV remained in the building until April when preparations were made to transfer parliament back into the building due to the Bombing of Parliament. On May 4 2024, by councillor decree, the Parliament was moved to the building temporarily until a new one is constructed elsewhere in Fudzhi. Later in May it was moved to a new building on Yappland and the Grand Soviet Building became the headquarters of the KPV once again.
