  • 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.

Krasnoye Selo (Saint Petersburg) Photo by ADC Memorial VIOLATIONS OF THE RIGHTS OF STATELESS PERSONS AND FOREIGN CITIZENS in Light of the ECHR Judgment in “Kim v. Russia” Human Rights Report 2016 The Anti-discrimination Centre Memorial has spent many years defending the rights of people suffering form discrimination, and in particupar the rights of migrants and representatives of vulnerable minorities. This report describes negative impact of non-implementation of the ECHR judgement in “Kim v. Russia” (2014) on the situation of stateless persons and foreigners detained for months and years in “specialized institutions for the temporary detention” (SITDFN) in order «to guarantee the expultion». No access to legal aid, no judicial control of the term and soundness of deprivation of freedom, no legal opportunities of expulsion in case of stateless persons, inhuman conditions of detention in SITDFN – all this makes the life in “specialized institutions” a cruel punishment for people who did not commit any crimes. The problem of stateless persons and migrants in irregular situation is important not only for Russia and ex-Soviet countries, but for contemporary Europe as well; the ECHR judgement in “Kim v. Russia” should be taken into account by the countries who are members of the Council of Europe and the European Union. ADC Memorial is thankful to Viktor Nigmatulin, a detainee of SITDFN in Kemerovo (Siberis), for the materials provided for the report.

But St. Petersburg’s three centuries have matured its material authenticity, recognizable tableaux and unique urban narratives, chiefly the Petersburg Text. The three of these, intertwined in their formation and development, created a distinctive place-identity. The aura arising from this distinctiveness functioned as a marketable code not only for St. Petersburg’s heritage industry, but also for a future-oriented engagement with post-Soviet hypercapitalism. Reflecting on both up-to-date scholarship and the actual cityscapes themselves, my dissertation will focus on the imaginative landscapes in the historic center of St.

  • The City's Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's Im
    The City’s Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's imperial-era chroniclers have displayed a persistent, paradoxical obsession with this very young city's history and memory. Count Francesco Algarotti was among the first to exhibit this curious conflation of old and new, although he seems to have been influenced by sentiments generally in the air during the early eighteenth century. Algarotti attributed the dilapidated state of the grand palaces along the banks of the Neva to the haste with which these residences had been constructed by members of the court whom Peter the Great had obliged to move from Moscow to the new capital: [I]t is easy to see that [the palaces] were built out of obedience rather than choice. Their walls are all cracked, quite out of perpendicular, and ready to fall. It has been wittily enough said, that ruins make themselves in other places, but that they were built at Petersburg. Accordingly, it is necessary every moment, in this new capital, to repair the foundations of the buildings, and its inhabitants built incessantly; as well for this reason, as on account of the instability of the ground and of the bad quality of the materials.1 In a similar vein, William Kinglake, who visited Petersburg in the mid-1840s, scornfully advised travelers to admire the city by moonlight, so as to avoid seeing, “with too critical an eye, plaster scaling from the white-washed walls, and frost-cracks rending the painted 1Francesco Algarotti, “Letters from Count Algarotti to Lord Hervey and the Marquis Scipio Maffei,” Letter IV, June 30, 1739.
