But St. Petersburg’s three centuries have matured its material authenticity, recognizable tableaux and unique urban narratives, chiefly the Petersburg Text. The three of these, intertwined in their formation and development, created a distinctive place-identity. The aura arising from this distinctiveness functioned as a marketable code not only for St. Petersburg’s heritage industry, but also for a future-oriented engagement with post-Soviet hypercapitalism. Reflecting on both up-to-date scholarship and the actual cityscapes themselves, my dissertation will focus on the imaginative landscapes in the historic center of St. -
Urban Planning
Leonid Lavrov, Elena Molotkova, Andrey Surovenkov — Pages 29–42 ON EVALUATING THE CONDITION OF THE SAINT PETERSBURG HISTORIC CENTER DOI: 10.23968/2500-0055-2020-5-3-29-42 Urban Planning ON EVALUATING THE CONDITION OF THE SAINT PETERSBURG HISTORIC CENTER Leonid Lavrov, Elena Molotkova*, Andrey Surovenkov Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering Vtoraja Krasnoarmeyskaya st., 4, Saint Petersburg, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Introduction: This study was prompted by the introduction of the urban environment quality index into the system operated by the Russian Ministry of Construction Industry, Housing and Utilities Sector (Minstroy). We note that the ˝environment-centric˝ methodologies were already worked on and applied to housing studies in Leningrad as far back as during the 1970–1980s, and that the insights from these studies can now be used for analyzing the current state of the urban environment. Purpose of the study and methods: The information reviewed in this article gives us the first glimpse of the tangible urban environment in the historic center of Saint Petersburg. Many features of this part of the city are reminiscent of other European metropolises, but the fact that the historic center is split into three parts by vast waterways, that the construction began from the ground up in the middle of the wilderness, and that the active urban development phase lasted only a century and a half (from the 1760s to the 1910s), has a major part to play. Results: We use quantitative data to describe the features of the Saint Petersburg historic center and compare our findings to the features of European metropolises, across such parameters as spatial geometry, transportation and pedestrian links, and environmental conditions. -
Problems and Solutions of Multi Storey Buildings: Okhta Business Center Integration in Historical Center of Saint Petersburg
MATEC Web of Conferences 5 3, 01026 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201653001 26 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016 Problems and solutions of multi storey buildings: Okhta business center integration in historical center of Saint Petersburg Daria Anishchenko1,a, Egor Batkov1, Maria Kukushkina1 and Artem Korsun1 1Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnical University, Polytechnicheskaya st. 29, 195251, St. Petersburg, Russia Abstract. This research is an attempt to make the analysis of possible solutions to the problem of the land where the Okhta Center was to be constructed. The authors studied the case from the historical, practical and cultural sides. In order to find out the current public opinion on this matter two surveys were held both among St Petersburg residents and foreign guests of the city. The main aims of this article were to find the solutions, that would lead to improvement in the cultural and social level of St Petersburg citizens’ life. The possible outcomes of this research are increasing incomes of the city budget, raising the status of the city and the development of Krasnogvardeisky region of St. Petersburg. 1 Introduction The Nowadays the society needs to balance historic, cultural and modern urban aspects of the life of the city. Sometimes it means that every aspect could destroy another just because of the opportunity of the future profit from it. Of course, the profit is not only money matter, but also involves the reputation of the city and region in general, that also could reflect the economic stability of the region and nearby areas. -
Three Centuries of Multi-Storied St. Petersburg

The article is devoted to assessment of the role of high-rise buildings in the St. Petersburg historic city’s ensemble. Features of formation of city architectural look, the conditions of city typical silhouette’s appearance which is characterized by the contrast of a small number of high-rise structures with a low horizontal mass building are observed. The consequences of the emergence of a significant number of great height buildings, the silhouette of which conflicts with the traditional St. Petersburg landscape’s compositional principles, are analyzed. The economic reasons of high-rise construction of residential and office buildings are given. The conclusions about the prospects of St. Petersburg high-rise construction in the light of city-building and economic factors are made. 1 Introduction The problem of transformation of the historic St. Petersburg’s specific silhouette, which evolved over three centuries, appeared at the beginning of the new century. The weakening of height regulations in the mid of 1990-ies allowed to place buildings up to a height of 28- 40 meters in the city center and in the depth of the districts which led to the fact that there are more and more objects in the classic urban panoramas, which destroy the "skyline" beauty. The research urges to turn to the assessment of the role of high-rise structures in the ensemble of the historic St. -

The anthropogenic impact on urban rivers is very significant. Industrial enterprises, municipal, and agricultural organizations discharge wastewater directly into the rivers. In the samples of the studied water, certain properties were found. The water in the river is cloudy, brown in color, and in some places has a sharp smell. Extraneous impurities and foam were detected in water. Moreover, various chemicals were found, which are not characteristic to natural waters. The analyzed water is highly polluted as shown by the following chemical indicators, which reported results higher than the Maximum Allowable Concentration: Fe concentration is 24 times higher than standard, Cu is 5 times higher, Mn is 6 times higher, Al is 366 times higher, Hg is 3 times higher, Zn is 4 times higher, NO2 is 2.5 times higher, hydrocarbon pollution is 2.8 times higher, NH4 is 1.9 times higher. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately develop effective methods for monitoring the state of the watercourse, both economic and energetic. To save the sustainable development of the natural system. 1 Introduction Russia is very rich in water resources. It has a huge river network in which watercourses that are 5-8 km long make up 76% of the total number of rivers. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The thesis deals with the creation of a ‘public’ in St Petersburg during the first half of the eighteenth century. The term ‘public’ has generated a considerable historiography dealing with its implications for the field of eighteenth-century studies, which are discussed in the introduction along with the contemporary definitions of the word. In eighteenth-century Russia, the term ‘public’ usually carried the meaning of ‘audience’, typically in reference to the theatre and other spectacles. The definition of this and other similar terms provides an important framework through which to analyse the various elements of this phenomenon. This analysis has centred on the city of St Petersburg in this period for several reasons. Firstly, it was the seat of both the Russian government and the Court around a decade after its foundation and Peter I ensured its rapid population. -
Regimes of the Russian– Swedish Border in the Novgorod Lands
Adrian Selin,Kuzma Kukushkin, Ivan Sablin, Elena Kocheryagina REGIMES OF THE RUSSIAN– SWEDISH BORDER IN THE NOVGOROD LANDS BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM WORKING PAPERS SERIES: HUMANITIES WP BRP 149/HUM/2017 This Working Paper is an output of a research project implemented at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE Adrian Selin1, Kuzma Kukushkin2, Ivan Sablin3, Elena Kocheryagina4 REGIMES OF THE RUSSIAN–SWEDISH BORDER IN THE NOVGOROD LANDS5 The working paper analysed the infrastructure of the Russian-Swedish border from a transcultural perspective. The history of the border was split into three periods following major changes in political border regimes. The first period covered the history of the border between Sweden and the Novgorod Republic after its formal delimitation in 1323. The annexation of the Novgorod Lands to the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1478 marked the beginning of the second period. The third period, which is discussed in detail, covered the history of border infrastructure between the transition of large part of the Novgorod Lands to Sweden in 1617 and 1700. Departing from the debate whether the border was a line or a zone and overcoming state-centred approaches, the working paper demonstrated that the existence of several parallel border regimes during different periods enabled the simultaneous existence of the border as a line and a zone pertaining to different social interactions and subject to manipulation by authorities. The consolidation of the border did not follow the Treaty of Stolbovo (1617), but owed to local demands and an accidental event of an epidemic in 1629– 1630. -

Environmental Assessment Report of the Interreg 2021-2027 South-East Finland – Russia Programme
Environmental assessment report of the Interreg 2021-2027 South-East Finland – Russia Programme President _____________________ Mr. Nikolay Matsukov St-Petersburg 2021 Interreg 2021-2027 South-East Finland-Russia programme Environmental report Brukhanov A.U., Matsukov N.N., Vorobyeva E.A., Vasilev E.V., Oblomkova N.S. SPA ISH Version 30 June 2021 2 The Interreg 2021-2027 South-East Finland - Russia Programme is undergoing a strategic environmental assessment (SEA). The SEA procedure includes several phases: determination of the scope of the environmental assessment, preparation of an environmental report, which includes an assessment of risks from the implementation of the program, consultations / public hearings with environmental authorities and other stakeholders on the content of the environmental report, preparation of the SEA report based on the results of consultations / public hearings. One of the main parts of the SEA is the assessment of possible environmental risks and consequences during the implementation of the program. The task of the experts preparing the report is to assess how ecologically important problems for the region are reflected in the preparation of the program and how they will be taken into account in its further implementation. Such an assessment and the final recommendations of the SEA are extremely relevant, as they are taken into account when developing the final version of the program. 3 Content Introduction .................................................................................................................................... -
