Moscow Shopping MOSCOW SHOPPING GUM DESCRIPTION GUM (pronounced [ˈɡ um], an abbreviation of Russian: Гл áвныйуниверс áльныймагазѝн, tr. Glávnyj Universá ĺnyj Magazín literally "main universal store") With the façade extending for 242 m. along the eastern side of Red Square, the Upper Trading Rows (GUM) were built between 1890 and 1893 by Alexander Pomerantsev (responsible for architecture) and Vladimir Shukhov (responsible for engineering). The trapezoidal building features a combination of elements of Russian medieval architecture and a steel framework and glass roof, a similar style to the great 19th-century railway stations of London. William Craft Brumfield described the GUM building as "a tribute both to Shukhov's design and to the technical proficiency of Russian architecture toward the end of the 19th century”. The glass-roofed design made the building unique at the time of construction. The roof, the diameter of which is 14 m., looks light, but it is a firm construction made of more than 50,000 metal pods (about 819 short tons (743 t), capable of supporting snowfall accumulation.

  • Between Hitler and Stalin: European Culture and Society Between the Wars
    HIST 294-11 Professor Julia Fein Between Hitler and Stalin: European Culture and Society Between the Wars Dr. Julia Fein Tuesday / Thursday 3:00-4:30 Old Main 002 E-mail: [email protected] Office hours: Wednesday, 11-2 ​ Office: Old Main 300, x6665 or by arrangement The inclination to aggression is an...instinctual disposition in man [and] it constitutes the greatest impediment … to civilization. - Sigmund Freud, 1930 Masked parties, Savage parties, Victorian parties, Greek parties, Wild West parties, Circus parties, parties where you have to dress as somebody else, almost naked parties in St. John’s Wood, parties in flats and studios and houses and ships and hotels and nightclubs, in swimming baths and windmills All that succession and … repetition of massed humanity. All those vile bodies. - Evelyn Waugh, 1930 Life has improved, comrades. Life has become more joyful. - Joseph Stalin, 1935 COURSE DESCRIPTION Economic crises, war and revolution, political regime change, and failed attempts at international governance: these are the backdrop to European society and culture in the period known as “interwar.” In this course we examine European culture and society defined in a variety of ways: as mass communication and everyday habits of interaction and consumption; as aesthetics and Spring 2016 1 HIST 294-11 Professor Julia Fein artistic production; and as landmark sites, milieux, and movements. The word “between” in the course title is also open to many interpretations. Most simply, this is about the people in interwar Europe’s most extreme societies - Germany and the Soviet Union - and the many Europeans caught geographically and/or ideologically somewhere in the middle.

  • Reform Or Consensus? Choral Synagogues in the Russian Empire
    arts Article Reform or Consensus? Choral Synagogues in the Russian Empire Vladimir Levin The Center for Jewish Art, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9190501, Israel; [email protected] Received: 5 May 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Many scholars view the choral synagogues in the Russian Empire as Reform synagogues, influenced by the German Reform movement. This article analyzes the features characteristic of Reform synagogues in central and Western Europe, and demonstrates that only a small number of these features were implemented in the choral synagogues of Russia. The article describes the history, architecture, and reception of choral synagogues in different geographical areas of the Russian Empire, from the first maskilic synagogues of the 1820s–1840s to the revolution of 1917. The majority of changes, this article argues, introduced in choral synagogues were of an aesthetic nature. The changes concerned decorum, not the religious meaning or essence of the prayer service. The initial wave of choral synagogues were established by maskilim, and modernized Jews became a catalyst for the adoption of the choral rite by other groups. Eventually, the choral synagogue became the “sectorial” synagogue of the modernized elite. It did not have special religious significance, but it did offer social prestige and architectural prominence. Keywords: synagogue; Jewish history in Russia; reform movement; Haskalah; synagogue architecture; Jewish cultural studies; Jewish architecture 1. Introduction The synagogue was the most important Jewish public space until the emergence of secular institutions in the late nineteenth century. As such, it was a powerful means of representation of the Jewish community in its own eyes and in the eyes of the non-Jewish population.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 2984. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/2984 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/2984 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Hidden Cities: Reinventing The Non-Space Between Street And Subway Abstract The connections leading to underground transit lines have not received the attention given to public spaces above ground. Considered to be merely infrastructure, the design and planning of these underground passageways has been dominated by engineering and capital investment principles, with little attention to place-making. This underground transportation area, often dismissed as “non-space,” is a by-product of high-density transit-oriented development, and becomes increasingly valuable and complex as cities become larger and denser. This dissertation explores the design of five of these hidden cities where there has been a serious effort to make them into desirable public spaces. Over thirty-two million urbanites navigate these underground labyrinths in New York City, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, and Paris every day. These in-between spaces have evolved from simple stairwells to networked corridors, to transit concourses, to transit malls, and to the financial engines for affordable public transit.

  • Planning for a Communist Future: Professionalization, Nationalism
    Planning for a Communist Future: Professionalization, Nationalism, and Preservation Practice in Soviet Moscow, 1964-1974 Michael Brinley A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies: Russian, East European and Central Asia University of Washington 2016 Committee: Glennys Young Dan Abramson Chris Jones Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies Ellison Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies 2 ©Copyright 2016 Michael Brinley 3 University of Washington Abstract Planning for a Communist Future: Professionalization, Nationalism, and Preservation Practice in Soviet Moscow, 1964-1974 Michael Brinley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Jon Bridgman Endowed Professor Glennys Young History Department This paper explores the growth of historic preservation institutions in Soviet Moscow during the late 1960s and 70s. Beginning with the decade long creation of the General Plan of 1971 and exploring elements of professionalization, international exchanges, and citizen involvement in preservation battles, this paper complicates the narrative of emergent nationalism in Brezhnev era Moscow. Soviet preservationists worked within a bureaucratic structure that demonstrated a responsiveness to their activism, while high ranking officials, such as chief architect, Mikhail Posokhin, self-consciously cast Soviet planning and preservation practice as an alternative to Western and capitalist methods. Cases such as the rescuing of the belye palaty in Moscow’s central district demonstrate telling examples of Soviet citizenship and activism, as well as a dynamism rarely associated with “stagnation” era Soviet historiography. 4 5 As for the imperative that we must think about basic human needs (dumat’ o cheloveke), it seems to me that in restoring the historic city [in Warsaw] they demonstrated greater care for basic human needs than had they hastily thrown up box-houses.

  • On Organization of Exhibition Areas for Archaeological-And-Architectural Monuments in a Historic City (Based on Moscow Historic City Research)
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 5 (2012 5) 630-637 ~ ~ ~ УДК 725.94(07) On Organization of Exhibition Areas for Archaeological-and-Architectural Monuments in a Historic City (based on Moscow historic city research) Nikolay I. Grekov* Siberian Federal University 79 Svobodny, Krasnoyarsk, 660041 Russia 1 Received 19.03.2012, received in revised form 25.03.2012, accepted 4.04.2012 Being a scientific source for cognition of the past, architectural-and-archaeological monuments discovered during excavations have always been important for the society. They influence people emotionally and esthetically. Display of ancient constructions as museum exhibits on the site is the most efficient way to preserve architectural-and-archaeological monuments. Ways of such ancient constructions display must meet the requirements of functional and artistically picturesque integration of a monument discovered by the archaeologists with the elements of modern environment. Centuries- old development has left a great number of valuable architectural-and-archaeological monuments for Moscow. The problems of discovery, preservation and display of Moscow’s architectural-and- archaeological heritage are extremely complicated due to Moscow’s status of a capital city and historic city centre steadiness. It is necessary to arrange the historic centre zoning taking the most valuable sectors of the cultural layer into account and to design reconstruction projects of the city wards occupying the sites of prospective archaeological research. Solution of the problem of architectural- and-archaeological monuments preservation and their contemporary use on the territory of Moscow requires much experimental work the results of which might influence the ways of the historic centre reconstruction.
