AHC/WI: more neoclassicalism/Greco-Roman architecture among communists

Deleted member 97083

The early Soviet Union admired neoclassicalism, as one can see in architectural projects such as the Palace of the Soviets, the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition, the Red Army Theatre, and others.

How can neoclassicism last in the Soviet Union as the style of large state-funded buildings?

As a further bonus challenge, have Maoist China, and other communist states, adopt Classical architecture from the Soviet Union.
 
Perhaps have Lenin spend his exile in Paris, where he imbibes a bit more of the old Revolutionary flair (those guys loved the Classics). I can't find my source, but OTL I recall that early Russian communists included Gracchus Babeuf as one of their ideological forefathers, so a bit more in that tradition.
