Recommendations for Moscow by Lighthouse Main Sights Recommendations for Moscow by Lighthouse Main sights KREMLIN Moscow's most famous political and historical landmark. The Kremlin is a walled-in complex of cathedrals, palaces and government offices, with several buildings open to the public, including the Armoury, Patriarch's Palace and the State Kremlin Palace. RED SQUARE The Red Square is the heart and soul of Russia, rich in symbols of its turbulent and intriguing past. Stroll over the square, visit the Lenin Mausoleum and make sure to pass through the shopping mall “GUM” for their famous ice-cream. ST BASILS CATHEDRAL The cathedral (see picture on the left), with its bright colours and onion shaped domes, is one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world. CHRIST THE SAVIOUR CATHEDRAL Located on the northern bank of the Moskva River, the Christ the Saviour Cathedral as the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world. NOVODEVICHI CONVENT Founded in the 16th century, Novodevichi convent is the only ancient nunnery which served as a fortress at the same time. The convent provides an example of the highest accomplishments of Russian architecture with rich interiors and an important collection of paintings and artefacts. PARK POBEDIY Victory Park is an open-air museum about the Second World War (the Great Patriotic War is Russian) on Poklonnaya hill, known for its aspiring obelisk (+140 meters high). While simply walking around the park you'll be amazed to see a lot of tanks, cannons, jets and other weapons from different countries that took part in the war. There are four memorial temples: Georgiy Pobedonocez Church (Saint George Church), Memorial mosque, Synagogue, Catholic Chapel which were all built to remember war victims. Popular neighbourhoods PATRIARCH’S PONDS This green space in central Moscow is great for people-watching and an ideal spot for some rest and relaxation. The park’s pond also serves as an ice rink in the winter and is home to swans in the summer. CHISTYE PRUDY (CLEAN PONDS) Clean Ponds is a lovely little pond that graces the Boulevard Ring. The paddle boats in summer and ice skating in winter are essential parts of the ambience and make it a popular hang-out. Ironically, the ponds used to be very filthy as the sewage from nearby areas was dumped there, particularly from butcher's rows located in the vicinity. In the 17th century, however, the ponds were ordered to clean. Since then, the area has become one of the most favorite places to stroll for many Muscovites. BOLSHAYA NIKITSKAYA STREET Bolshaya Nikitskaya is a street in the heart of Moscow, parallel to Tverskaya street and Vozdvizhenka passing into Novy Arbat. Not only does it have a lot of quaint restaurants and shops, but it also has a rich history dating back to the 16th century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolshaya_Nikitskaya_Street). KUZNETSKIY MOST AREA In downtown Moscow, located between Tverskaya Street and Kitay Gorod, you find the small area Kuznetskiy Most. In Soviet times, many buildings were used by the Government and the area became quite boring. But in the beginning of the 90s, a revival took place and currently it is known for its nice restaurants, cocktail bars and clubs. An important landmark of the area is that it is home to the Federal Security Bureau (former KGB). KITAY GOROD Kitay Gorod is one of Moscow’s oldest areas, emerging in the 14th century when the Kremlin expanded. While translating to China Town in Russian, there has never been a Chinese settlement here. Instead, the name likely stems from the word Citta, meaning fortification, as the walls of Kitay Gorod protected the city from unwanted visitors.

  • Spatial Evolution of a Museum Building: a Case of the State Historical Museum
    SPATIAL EVOLUTION OF A MUSEUM BUILDING: A CASE OF THE STATE HISTORICAL MUSEUM Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Anna Mikhailova MA School of Museum Studies University of Leicester September 2017 Abstract Spatial Evolution of a Museum Building: A Case of the State Historical Museum in Moscow Anna Mikhailova This thesis contributes to the modern understanding of museum architecture, by exploring the relationship between a museum as an organisation and its physical form of the museum building. By choosing the spatial transformations at the State Historical Museum in Moscow as a case study, it introduces Russian museum practices into international museological context. The thesis analyses the planning and construction stages, as well as two major renovations that took place in significantly different political contexts: Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union and the modern democratic Federation. Applying a micro historical approach and a facility management lens offers an insight into the complexity of the processes that shape the physical space: its sensitivity to internal and external agencies and multiple contexts, such as the urban built environment; the political climate and the economy; museum trends; and the professional community. The building itself, once completed or at earlier stages, becomes another actor in the equation. An in-depth analysis of the events in question reveals the elaborate nature of the production of space, and demonstrates the importance of professional communication and interpersonal relationships that can impact the institution, both positively and adversely. The attitudes to the Museum, demonstrated by different governments over the years, offer an insight into how a central location can be viewed as a bigger asset than the institution itself and discourage it from independence, both organisationally and spatially.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Ti-f£$£ IP ^6^771 Abstract The Russian legitimation formula contains the arguments the Russian leadership advanced to promote its state-building project between 1991 and 2000. The period of investigation coincides with Yeltsin’s presidency. The focus is on how the legitimation rhetoric was adjusted both to changing circumstances over time and to three main audiences: the Russian domestic population, the Russian domestic elites and the international community. In order to analyse the contents of the legitimation formula a framework was developed which divided the different arguments used by the Russian leadership into six main categories (democratic, national, charismatic, eudaemonic, external and negative arguments). The material selected for analysis had to relate to basic features of statehood.

The great churches of Kievan Rus', built after the adoption of christianity in 988, were the first examples of monumental architecture in the East Slavic region. The architectural style of the Kievan state, which quickly established itself, was strongly influenced by Byzantine architecture. Early Eastern Orthodox churches were mainly built from wood, with their simplest form known as a cell church. Major cathedrals often featured many small domes, which has led some art historians to infer how the pagan Slavic temples may have appeared.
