  • Le Role De L'ingénieur Augustin Betancourt Dans La Vie Et L'oeuvre De L'architecte Auguste De Montferrand
    Q ’H ’E 2009 LE ROLE DE L’INGÉNIEUR AUGUSTIN BETANCOURT DANS LA VIE ET L’OEUVRE DE L’ARCHITECTE AUGUSTE DE MONTFERRAND Valery Chouïski †1 Conservateur du Département d’Architecture du Musée de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Pétersbour Le célèbre ingénieur et l’architecte glorifié par la suite ont été étroitement liés pendant une période de huit ans, de 1816, date de l’arrivée d’Auguste Montferrand à Saint-Pétersbourg, à 1824, l’année du décès d’Augustin Betan- court. L’architecte devait à Betancourt non seulement les commandes de travaux les plus avantageuses, mais sa carrière vertigineuse toute entière. Cet état des choses tenait aux fonctions haut placées de Betancourt, à son autorité professionnelle d’ingénieur et de savant notable, mais aussi à sa proximité des milieux gouvernementaux, de la cour impériale et de l’empereur en per- sonne. En 1816, Betancourt âgé de 58 ans occupait une position solide dans la société russe et y bénéficiait d’une grande notoriété. Il avait le grade de lieutenant-général et était inspecteur du premier établissement supé- rieur technique en Russie, Institut du Corps des ingénieurs des voies de communication (aujourd’hui Université des voies de la communication), créé en 1809-1810 avec sa participation la plus active. Toujours en 1816, il a été nommé président du Comité pour les bâtiments et les travaux hydrauliques créé sur son initiative, l’organisme de construction le plus puissant de son temps, au sein duquel s’élaboraient les projets d’architec- ture et d’urbanisme aussi bien pour la capitale que pour d’autres villes de l’Empire.

The Admiralty takes one of the most important places in the military history of the city and country because it is the birthplace of the Russian Navy. It is the complex of buildings where the Main Admiralty of Russian Empire used to be situated. Nowadays it is a monument of the naval history. The Admiralty was built in 1704-1706 by the design of architect I. Korobov. The building is decorated with different sculptures, which images are connected with the marine legends and myths. Many famous sculptors took part in the designing process of the sculptures: S. Pimenov, V. Demut-Malinovskiy, A. Anisimov, F. Shedrin, I. Terebenev and others. Reliefs, which depict the Greek goddess of justice Themis awarding warriors and craftsmen, are located in the pediments of the side porticos. The central arch is adorned with the statues of nymphs, who stand on the high pedestals and carry the globes. Above the arch there are soaring Glories and allegorical bas-relief "Establishment of fleet in Russia".

Occasionally, it could be sad or happy emotions, which could conquer our minds over a place, but still, these are the mem- ories and feelings, which resides in us until the end of our lives and we have to learn how to live with those.

The taking of the Swedish fortress of Noteborg at the beginning of the War of the North and the establishment in 1703 of the fortresses of Peter-and-Paul and Kronschlot ushered in the greatest urban creation of the 18th century: the construction of the capital of Peter the Great, the symbol of a Russia that became the master of the Baltic after the victory of Poltava (1709) and was free to open to the West. At the cost of the colossal forced labor of Russian soldiers, Swedish and Ottoman prisoners of war, and Finnish and Estonian workers and laborers, the metamorphosis of an inhospitable coastal area into a superb city where palaces, churches and convents, and also two-storey stone houses fit in to the urban designs of the Frenchman Alexandre Leblond, was completed in less than 20 years. In 1724 St. Petersburg, which then outstripped Moscow, counted 75,000 inhabitants.
