Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments HISTORIC CENTRE OF SAINT PETERSBURG AND RELATED GROUPS OF MONUMENTS 14th SESSION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE DECEMBER 1990 CRITERIA (I), (II), (IV), (VI) HISTORIC CENTRE OF SAINT PETERSBURG AND RELATED GROUPS OF MONUMENTS LARGE AGGLOMERATION PROTECTED AS WORLD HERITAGE SITE CRITERION (I) In the field of urban design, Saint Petersburg represents a unique ar=sc achievement in the ambion of the program, the coherency of the plan and the speed of execuon. From 1703 to 1725, Peter the Great lied from a landscape of marshes, peat bogs and rocks, architectural styles in stone and marble for a capital, Saint Petersburg, which he wished to be the most beauFul city in all of Europe. CRITERION (I) [from 1703 to 1725] [the ambion of the program, the coherency of the plan and the speed of execuon] [Peter the Great] [a landscape oF marshes, peat bogs and rocks] CRITERION (I) [a unique ar=sc achievement] [one of the most beauFul cies in all of Europe] CRITERION (II) The ensembles designed in Saint Petersburg and the surrounding area by Rastrelli, Vallin de la Mothe, Cameron, Rinaldi, Zakharov, Voronikhine, Rossi, MonVerrand, and others, exerted great influence in the 18th and 19th centuries on the development of architecture and monumental arts in Russia and Finland. The normave value of the capital was increased from the beginning by the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, followed by that of the Academy of Fine Arts. The urban model of Saint Petersburg, made explicit by future work completed under Catherine II, Alexander I and Nicholas I, was used during the reconstrucXon of Moscow following the fire of 1812, and as new ciXes, such as Odessa or Sebastopol, spread in the southern part of the Empire. CRITERION (II) [the ensembles designed in Saint Petersburg and the surrounding area] [the great influence in the 18th and 19th centuries on the development of architecture and monumental arts] The Palace Square The Alexandrinsky theater The St. Isaac Square The Moyka River The Smolny Convent The Arts Square CRITERION (II) [Catherine II, Alexander I and Nicholas I] [the urban model of Saint Petersburg] [the normave value of the capital] The Plan of Sebastopol The Plan of Tver CRITERION (IV) The nominated cultural property links outstanding examples of baroque imperial residences with the architectural ensemble of Saint Petersburg - the baroque and neoclassical capital par excellence. The palaces oF PeterhoF (Petrodvorets) and Tsarskoye Selo (Pushkin), which were restored following destruc=on during the Second World War, are some of the most significant construcXons. CRITERION (IV) [the outstanding examples of baroque imperial residences] [the architectural ensemble of Saint Petersburg - the baroque and neoclassical capital par excellence] Peterhof Gatchina Pavlovsk Oranienbaum Tsarskoye Selo CRITERION (IV) [the destruc=on during the Second World War] [the palaces of PeterhoF and Tsarskoye Selo were restored following destrucon during the Second World War] CRITERION (VI) Saint Petersburg was twice directly and tangibly associated with events of universal significance. From 1703 to 1725, the construcXon of Saint Petersburg (recalled by the equestrian statue oF Peter the Great by Falconet, located in Senatskaya Square) symbolizes the opening oF Russia to the western world and the emergence of the empire of the czars on the internaonal scene. The Bolshevik Revolu=on triumphed in Petrograd in 1917 (the city had been renamed in 1914). The Aurora cruiser and the town house of Mathilde Kchesinskaia, later the museum of the Great Socialist RevoluXon of October, are, in the heart of Leningrad, symbols of the Formaon of the U.S.S.R.

  • Future of the Obvodny Canal—The Main Line of the Saint
    Architecture and Engineering Volume 2 Issue 4 FUTURE OF THE OBVODNY CANAL — THE MAIN LINE OF THE SAINT PETERSBURG GREY BELT Leonid Lavrov 1, Fedor Perov 2, Raffaele Gambassi 3 1,2 Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering Vtoraja Krasnoarmejskaja ul. 4, St. Petersburg, Russia 3 Via Salceto 87, Poggibonsi,Siena, Italy 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Abstract The study looks at the issues of the development of territories in the Obvodny Canal area. These issues, which are of great interest as related to the planned transformation of the Grey Belt, become more aggravated due to the increase in traffic load after the Western High-Speed Diameter (WHSD) opening. A significant decrease in the housing quality and cost of apartments facing embankments is observed, which can be explained by an extremely high level of noise and contamination with exhaust gases. Options for the improvement of environmental conditions, based on the conversion of territories allocated for the canal water area, are proposed. It is being noted that the Obvodny Canal has lost its functional purpose and can be converted as dozens of (nowadays former) canals in the historic center of Saint Petersburg. Keywords Grey Belt, Saint Petersburg transport infrastructure, Obvodny Canal, ecology of living environment. Introduction The canal was abandoned and for a long time it served The Obvodny Canal was constructed in 1803–1835. as a waste canal for local enterprises and residential In 1766, a drainage ditch was dug from the Ligovsky Ca- blocks. In the 1960s, a proposal to fill up the canal was nal to the Ekateringofka River; the western part of the Ob- debated.

  • Agustin Betancourt in Russia1
    Q ’H ’E 2009 AGUSTIN BETANCOURT IN RUSSIA1 Vladimir E. Pavlov 1.- To the service of the Russian Crown2. Agustin Betancourt arrived for the first time in Russia in November 1807 and stayed there for several months, till April 1808. During this first stay he was presented to Alexandre I, charmed him as a person, pleased him as an engineer and got the invitation to enter the service of the Crown under very advanta- geous conditions (fig. 1). He also impressed the royal family, and namely the empress-mother Maria Fedorovna with whom he entertained a correspondence after his departure and whose benevolent atti- tude contributed greatly to concretise this opportunity. Thus, in her letter addressed to Betancourt in Paris, the royal Lady asked him not to postpone his coming to Russia that particularly influenced his decision. In his reply, dated June 22, 1808, Betancourt writes about his definitive decision and preparations for his journey3. The fact that Betancourt had given his prior agreement to Alexander I to turn to the service of Russia is evidenced by the Alexander I’s decree dated March 13, Figure 1.
