  • Or Catherine Ii's Petersburg
    “OUT OF THE FORMER DUCK’S NEST”, OR CATHERINE II’S PETERSBURG At the beginning of Catherine II’s reign, St. Petersburg was a bustling, growing city that was developing quickly and becoming even more beautiful. The events of the palace coup on June 28 1762, leading to Catherine’s ascension to the throne cheered on by people in Nevsky Avenue, gave Petersburg a fresh start for further development. Its population was growing steadily so that by the end of the 18th century Petersburg surpassed Moscow itself in population – more than 200,000 people lived there. But it was not the abundant population that made Catherine’s Peters burg remarkable. The city’s fate was predestined by a number of important factors. To begin with, under Catherine, the city became one of the world’s political centres. International affairs that in fluenced the general situation in Europe were settled in Petersburg. Petersburg was not only the largest, most northern port city, but also the residence of a great ruler who gloriously reigned over her immense empire for more than three decades. Under her, Russia’s political, economic and mili tary powers reached their prime and were striking for the contemporaries. Joseph II, the Emperor of Austria, wrote once that Catherine was able to fix arbitrarily the rouble’s exchange rate, and if she would take a fancy to introduce leather money, this would also be accepted, – so miraculously rich was Russia. None of the European courts could compete in splendour with Petersburg. Its expendi tures under Catherine were unthinkable for all other monarchies.

  • Romanov News Новости Романовых
    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №82 January 2015 The Samson fountain at the Grand Palace in Peterhof Peterhof's Grand Palace - 300 years anniversary! Emperor Peter the Great first mention Peterhof in his travel journal on 13 September 1705, during the Great Northern War, as a good place to construct a landing for use in traveling to and from the island fortress of Kronstadt. So on 13 September 2005 Peterhof officially celebrated its 300 years anniversary. However it is not before 1714, that Peter began the construction of the Monplaisir ("My Pleasure") Palace, based on his own sketches, close to the shoreline. This was Peter's Summer Palace, his preferred retreat. He would use on his way coming and going from Europe through the harbor at Kronstadt and here Peter entertained only his closest friends and advisors. Peter's plan for an upper palace - later the Grand Palace - is dated 4 February (24 January) 1715, where he orders "in Peterhof to dig a canal from the sea and to put stone in it", going up to the new palace. The first palace was called simply 'Upper', and was not a Grand palace. It was somewhat inadequate for its surroundings splendour, and soon Peter instructed Architect Le Blond to expand the building. There was created an oak staircase, the Cabinet of Peter, increased the windows and doors of the large ceremonial hall on the second floor, gables were decorated with reliefs (by N. Pine), and the balcony was extended. In 1719 the construction of the upper rooms was led by Niccolo Michetti.

    Urbanism and Social Transformation in Peter the Great’s Russia Eric S. Voytko A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Architecture University of Washington 2016 Committee: Ann C. Huppert Elena I. Campbell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Architecture University of Washington Abstract Urbanism and Social Transformation in Peter the Great’s Russia Eric S. Voytko Chair of the Supervisory Committee Associate Professor Ann C. Huppert Department of Architecture Few figures loom as large over the history of Russia as Peter I. From the moment he accepted the throne as sole ruler in 1696, he embarked on an ambitious campaign of modernization, disrupting the culture of a country mired in traditions he considered hopelessly out of date. The young emperor’s transformations of Russia’s military forces, administrative structure, religious culture, and social and political practices have been well documented. His reign also produced a dramatic shift in the country’s architectural culture towards more Western idioms. Existing scholarship has too often permitted the architectural and urban aspects of Peter’s reforms to be divorced from social and political changes in Russian society. This study proposes that these architectural and urban transformations might be better understood as integral parts of his comprehensive program of reform. Following a method drawn from Spiro Kostof, this study asserts that reforms in Russia’s architecture and urbanism in Moscow and Saint Petersburg influenced other aspects of society in turn, and thus formed a reciprocal relationship with reforms in those areas. !ii © Copyright 2016 Eric S.
