A complete run of 15 issues in 19 numbers of this architectural journal (which should not be confused with the journal issued by the Union of Soviet Architects beginning in 1951). The design and layout for the 1931 issues were by V. Stepanova. The Editor-in-Chief was N. Miliutin.

Sovetskaia arkhitektura began publication when all architectural movements were being merged into VANO, an association of architectural organizations that existed between 1930 and 1932. As an interim publication that followed SA and preceded Arkhitektura SSSR, Sovetskaia arkhitektura covered activity in the Soviet architectural community during the crucial transition period of 1931-33. Of particular value are the articles that deal with the pros and cons of constructivist and functionalist architecture. The target audience was working architects and municipal planners.

The magazine appeared bi-monthly in 1931-1933. There was one issue in 1934.
