Their other projects were related to Petrograd , and they participated in many competitions.
The plans for the Palace of the Soviets , in which they took part in the first and second competitions (1932–1933) , played a major role in Helreich's and Shchuko's activities . The project was accepted by BM Iofan , with the implementation of which the architects Iofan, Helreich and Schtschuko were commissioned with their architectural collectives (1933–1939). 1935-1937 Helreich was actively involved in the restructuring of Moscow . 1936–1938 he built the Great Stone Bridge in Moscow together with Shchuko and M.
