  • American‑Russian Relations in the Times of the American Civil War (1861‑1865)
    Studies into the History of Russia and Central-Eastern Europe ■ XLVIII Hanna Marczewska‑Zagdańska Historical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences American‑Russian relations in the times of the American Civil War (1861‑1865) Outline: The 1860s were marked by an exceptional affection and friendship in the bilateral relations between the United States, a young American republic, and the long‑established tsarist Russia. This phenomenon, which had never occurred with such intensity before or since, inspired Russian and American researchers and politicians to organize The Tsar and the President: Alexander II and Abraham Lincoln, Liberator and Emancipator exhibition which was displayed, inter alia, in Moscow in 2011. The following article analyses (on the basis of numerous source materials from the period) the reasons of this mutual amity and trust, as well as their military and eco‑ nomic cooperation—both internal (the Civil War in the U.S., the January Uprising in the Russian Empire), and external (the rivalry with Great Britain and France, and political calculations in the search for suitable alliances)—in the period of world power rivalry for global spheres of influence. Keywords: President Lincoln, Tsar Aleksander II, US Civil War, Russian Empire, Polish Insurrection of 1863, Russian Fleet, United States – Foreign Relations – Russia, Russia – Foreign Relations – United States, 19th Century Diplomatic History. On February 22, 2011, the seat of the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow saw the unveiling of an exhibition under the surprising and intriguing title “The Tsar and the President: Alexander II and Abraham Lincoln, Liberator and Emancipator”. Conceived on the initiative of the American‑Russian Cultural Cooperation Foundation and already displayed in the United States in 2008‑2009, the exhibition attracted a large number of visitors and enthusiasts.

  • Kremlin Form
    Kremlin Form Architecture’s engagement with urban form always operates within the aesthetic structures associated with the technologies of draw- ing, such as paper material, bounding frame, and the means of repro- duction. In a course taught at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in the fall of 2012, students were asked to con- ceptualize the Moscow Kremlin through instruments of annotation. ANNA NEIMARK Though the site itself was out of reach, relying on drawings and photographs of Southern California Institute the monuments and the walls surrounding them, the seminar constructed a sur- of Architecture vey of analytical drawings that were based on compositional rather than political or religious principles. These analogical recordings were neither objective docu- ments of carefully measured forms, nor authored myths of imagined narratives. Instead, they aimed to dislocate the Kremlin from a closed political space in order to open it to architectural interpretation. The process of the seminar was drawn from a comparative study of maps that inevitably contrasted the real with the limits of representation. Consider for instance Giambattista Nolli’s presentation of Bufalini’s Rome (1748) where the substrate of the map is represented as paper, held by two putti unrolling it in mid-flight. Again, in his Nuova Pianta of the same year, what was one monumen- tal sheet is subdivided into twelve parts, each plate extending into a boundary that represents the space of overlap. In this seam, Nolli’s famous figure/ground is left as line work and unrendered. Or jump forward to the final rendition of the “City in the City” series by Oswald Mathias Ungers (1977).

  • Information Technologies of the Project of New Museum Exposition
    Information technologies of the project of new museum exposition “Periods of the history of Kolomenskoye” Author: Olga A. Polyakova Olga A. Polyakova Information technologies of the project of new museum exposition My presentation will deal with Kolomenskoye museum-reserve in Moscow and projects involving use of new technologies that the museum experts intend to employ in their everyday work. Let me say a few words about the museum. It is located in Moscow and occupies a site of 390 hectares. The peculiarity of our museum consists in the fact that quite diverse monuments and objects of cultural heritage are concentrated in it. Lands of Kolomenskoye where the museum is located has been inhabited by people since the most ancient times. The very landscape of Kolomenskoye is the unique object of the cultural heritage. The museum- reserve is situated on a high beautiful place at the Moscow river bank. The oldest trees in Moscow, oaks that are more than 600 years old have survived to the present time in the place. Flood plains, rare herbs and flowers included in the Red book, ravines with exposed geological strata, streams and springs belong to natural monuments. The old park of planted oaks, larches, fir trees, elms and ash trees and gardens of apple and pear trees occupy the greater part of Kolomenskoye plot. The particular value of Kolomenskoye museum is imparted by the fact that the place served as the summer time residence of the Russian tsars for good six hundred years. Originally Kolomenskoye was situated outside Moscow city boundaries. It lies south off the city and Russian potentates did not select the place for their residence on the high beautiful river bank just by chance.
