It was the Viipuri Library.

Then it was the Nadezhda Krupskaya

Municipal Library. Now it is the Central City Alvar Aalto Library.
Whichever name you prefer, its architecture is unique and its
design internationally acclaimed.
Built in 1933-1935 and designed by Alvar Aalto, the library is
now in Vyborg, Russia, although it was built under Finnish rule
and in the city's Finnish name, Viipuri. It is considered to be one
of the first examples of "regional modernism". It is famous for
the wave-shaped ceiling of the auditorium. Aalto claimed the
shape was based on acoustic studies.

Aalto was commissioned to design the library when he won first prize in an architectural
competition in 1927 for the building. His original proposal went through some serious
changes, going from Nordic Classicism to a severely functional style to its final purist
modernist incarnation.

The building was damaged in WWII, and the city itself was
ceded to the Soviet Union. Soviet authorities planned to repair
it, but it never came to pass. The building was empty for a
decade, during which further damage was done including the
destruction of the wave-shaped ceiling. During the 1950s
architect Aleksandr Shver drew schemes for its restoration in
the contemporary Stalinist classical style as he did not have
access to the original design plans. The building was renovated
during 1955-1961, and housed the central library of Vyborg.
Until the time of Gorbachev very few people, including Finns,
visited Vyborg. Rumors spread about the library's total
destruction and information about its true condition was
sketchy at best. The building is currently included in the
Russian Federation's list of objects of historical and cultural
heritage.
The building remains in public use while restoration is being
done under the direction of the Alvar Aalto Academy. This
group includes architects Tapani Mustonen, Maija Kairamo (once
of the Finnish National Board of Antiquities) and three architects
once employed by Aalto, Eric Adlecreutz, Vazio Nava, and Leif
Englund.
