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. -

Spatial Imaginary of Imperial St. Petersburg and Maritime Heritage of the Gulf of Finland
humanities Article The Metropolitan Bay: Spatial Imaginary of Imperial St. Petersburg and Maritime Heritage of the Gulf of Finland Alexei Kraikovski * and Julia Lajus National Research University Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg 198099, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-812-644-5911-61412 Received: 2 December 2018; Accepted: 19 February 2019; Published: 26 February 2019 Abstract: The paper aims to discuss the multifaceted links between the marine environment of the Gulf of Finland and the representations of the large complex of cultural heritage related to the city of St. Petersburg. The paper is based on a spatial imaginary of Greater St. Petersburg as the cultural and technological unity of the city and adjacent waterscapes in the times of the Russian Empire. This concept is instrumental to see the historical links between the parts of the heritage complex that has by now disintegrated and has been separated by state borders. Keywords: Baltic; Gulf of Finland; coastal heritage; St. Petersburg; spatial imaginaries 1. Introduction The paper discusses the multifaceted links between the marine environment of the Gulf of Finland and creation, representation, and perception of the numerous vestiges of maritime heritage left behind in the city of St. Petersburg. This maritime heritage is tightly connected with the spatial imaginary of the Gulf of Finland as a space of Greater St. Petersburg, as the Gulf itself had been culturally and technologically connected to a former capital of the Russian Empire. We follow the definition of spatial imaginary as a collective or individual understanding of space produced in association with the practices of living in that space. -
Peterhof. Survival Guide for Bachelor Students
2019/2020 a.y. Peterhof. Survival Guide for Bachelor Students WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT! Dear International Students— On behalf of all of us at the Saint Petersburg University Graduate School of Management, I would like to welcome you to what we hope will be a period of your life that can only be described as a life-changing experience: one which gives you a new perspective on the world, a valuable new international network of friends and future business contacts and especially – those moments to remember, where you discover wonderful things that you otherwise never would have experienced. Study abroad will always bring challenges: from discovering how to get the courses you need to figuring out how to get just about everything practical to work in your life in this new setting - from public transportation to relations between the sexes. And on top of all of this, you have chosen to “think out of the box” by choosing to do your student exchange in a country, which is still unknown territory for many and by wrestling with a very different new language. You have made a strong move which, by the way, just might be what catches the eye of a future employer when you are looking for that exciting international job after graduation. In the meanwhile, all of this will not come easily and if it happens that you feel lost occasionally, we want you to know that you are welcome to come in to the office and have a talk with us – we are here to help. -
An Orthodox Social Gospel in Late-Imperial Russia∗
Religion and Society in Central and Eastern Europe, Volume I (May 2006) Scott M. Kenworthy / Miami University An Orthodox Social Gospel in Late-Imperial Russia∗ On Sunday morning, 9 January 1905, 150,000 workers and their families marched from various parts of St. Petersburg and converged upon the Winter Palace to present a “Most Loyal and Humble Address” to tsar Nicholas II asking him to improve the conditions of the workers. The marchers sang hymns and carried icons and crosses, and were led by a Russian Orthodox priest, Father Georgii Gapon, resembling a religious procession more than a labor demonstration. The workers, led by Gapon, believed in the benevolence of the Tsar, the batiushka (“little father”), and that he would listen to their troubles and help them. The day before, however, the government had ordered the march be cancelled and posted 12,000 troops in the city to prevent the marchers from reaching the palace, while Nicholas II had left Petersburg to spend the weekend at the suburban palace in Tsarskoe Selo. As the first group of marchers converged upon the Narva Gates, troops opened fire upon the unarmed crowd, killing forty and wounding hundreds. In other parts of the city soldiers also attacked the marchers, culminating in the attack on a large crowd that approached the Winter Palace in the afternoon. In all, some 150 people, including women and children, were killed. That infamous day, known as Bloody Sunday, destroyed the popular myth of the benevolent tsar and initiated two years of chaos, strikes, and violence known as the Revolution of 1905, which nearly brought the regime to its knees and forced it grudgingly to make significant concessions, above all the move toward establishing a constitutional monarchy with the October Manifesto and the Duma.1 The march on Bloody Sunday was organized by the Assembly of Russian Workers, Russia’s first mass labor organization, which itself had been founded and led by Fr. -
Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - Challenges and Perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia
II International Scientific Symposium «Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - challenges and perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia ABSTRACTS 19-21 September 2018 Veliky Novgorod Putting a Stop to Losses, Managing the Present and the Future of the Cultural Heritage of Russia The bitter news of the fire that destroyed the wooden tent-roofed Church of the Assumption in Kondopoga, the Republic of Karelia has shocked all of us. It was a symbol of the spiritual and material power of the Russian people, a cultural monument of federal significance, an object of worship for thousands of people. Its beauty and sophistication, its unique image celebrated by poets and artists were fascinating. Numerous monographs both in Russia and abroad have been dedicated to it, for centuries it was passing down the generations the inimitable charm of the Russian North. This loss is irreversible, architectural monuments may not be cloned. It is imperative to put a stop to losing the masterpieces of the wooden architecture in which Russia used to be so rich. The VII Parliamentary Forum in June 2018 in Suzdal dedicated to this most fragile part of our cultural heritage has raised the issue of the necessity to ensure the safety of the cultural heritage object's that are located far from populated places, in the hard to access areas which was historically predetermined. Russia possesses a unique experience in protecting the objects of the national significance. Vandalizing priceless cultural masterpieces is a kind of terrorism which our country prevails. In our opinion, the state should adopt a comprehensive inter-agency program for protection of the cultural heritage of the Russian North, Siberia and Far East. -
British Residents in Russia During the Crimean War Simon Dixon
Allegiance and Betrayal: British Residents in Russia during the Crimean War Simon Dixon This article reveals a previously unsuspected instance of a problem that has troubled most states at some point in their history: the treatment of foreigners in wartime following their transposition from the status of ‘resident alien’ to that of ‘enemy alien’. Debates on the rights of foreign residents, in contra-distinction to those of native citizens, can be traced back to the Athenian city state, where Aristotle himself was a Macedonian resident alien (metic).1 Wars may never have been the only crises to challenge those rights -- food shortages seem most often to have led to the expulsion of foreigners from ancient Rome and it remains uncertain whether it was Aristotle’s foreign status that twice forced him to leave Athens2 -- but, ever since classical times, foreign residents, variously defined, have repeatedly fallen under suspicion when their adopted homelands have come under threat from their native countries. More than 2000 years after Aristotle’s death, the issue remains current thanks partly to the controversial detention of noncitizens of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks of 9/11.3 In studying the period between the ancient world and our own, historians have focused on the widespread introduction of mass internment during the First World War, a policy revived by leading belligerents between 1939 and 1945.4 Issued shortly after the Italian declaration of war in June 1940, Churchill’s notorious instruction to ‘collar the lot!’ is sometimes supposed to have heralded a uniform experience for Italian residents in Britain, most of whom had dual nationality. -
TROTSKY PROTESTS TOO MUCH by Emma Goldman
Published Essays and Pamphlets TROTSKY PROTESTS TOO MUCH By Emma Goldman PRICE TWOPENCE In America Five Cents Published by THE ANARCHIST COMMUNIST FEDERATION [Glasgow, Scotland, 1938] INTRODUCTION. This pamphlet grew out of an article for Vanguard, the Anarchist monthly published in New York City. It appeared in the July issue, 1938, but as the space of the magazine is limited, only part of the manuscript could be used. It is here given in a revised and enlarged form. Leon Trotsky will have it that criticism of his part in the Kronstadt tragedy is only to aid and abet his mortal enemy, Stalin. It does not occur to him that one might detest the savage in the Kremlin and his cruel regime and yet not exonerate Leon Trotsky from the crime against the sailors of Kronstadt. In point of truth I see no marked difference between the two protagonists of the benevolent system of the dictatorship except that Leon Trotsky is no longer in power to enforce its blessings, and Josef Stalin is. No, I hold no brief for the present ruler of Russia. I must, however, point out that Stalin did not come down as a gift from heaven to the hapless Russian people. He is merely continuing the Bolshevik traditions, even if in a more relentless manner. The process of alienating the Russian masses from the Revolution had begun almost immediately after Lenin and his party had ascended to power. Crass discrimination in rations and housing, suppression of every political right, continued persecution and arrests, early became the order of the day. -
