We note that the ˝environment-centric˝ methodologies were already worked on and applied to housing studies in Leningrad as far back as during the 1970–1980s, and that the insights from these studies can now be used for analyzing the current state of the urban environment. Purpose of the study and methods: The information reviewed in this article gives us the first glimpse of the tangible urban environment in the historic center of Saint Petersburg. Many features of this part of the city are reminiscent of other European metropolises, but the fact that the historic center is split into three parts by vast waterways, that the construction began from the ground up in the middle of the wilderness, and that the active urban development phase lasted only a century and a half (from the 1760s to the 1910s), has a major part to play. Results: We use quantitative data to describe the features of the Saint Petersburg historic center and compare our findings to the features of European metropolises, across such parameters as spatial geometry, transportation and pedestrian links, and environmental conditions.

  • Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - Challenges and Perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia
    II International Scientific Symposium «Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - challenges and perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia ABSTRACTS 19-21 September 2018 Veliky Novgorod Putting a Stop to Losses, Managing the Present and the Future of the Cultural Heritage of Russia The bitter news of the fire that destroyed the wooden tent-roofed Church of the Assumption in Kondopoga, the Republic of Karelia has shocked all of us. It was a symbol of the spiritual and material power of the Russian people, a cultural monument of federal significance, an object of worship for thousands of people. Its beauty and sophistication, its unique image celebrated by poets and artists were fascinating. Numerous monographs both in Russia and abroad have been dedicated to it, for centuries it was passing down the generations the inimitable charm of the Russian North. This loss is irreversible, architectural monuments may not be cloned. It is imperative to put a stop to losing the masterpieces of the wooden architecture in which Russia used to be so rich. The VII Parliamentary Forum in June 2018 in Suzdal dedicated to this most fragile part of our cultural heritage has raised the issue of the necessity to ensure the safety of the cultural heritage object's that are located far from populated places, in the hard to access areas which was historically predetermined. Russia possesses a unique experience in protecting the objects of the national significance. Vandalizing priceless cultural masterpieces is a kind of terrorism which our country prevails. In our opinion, the state should adopt a comprehensive inter-agency program for protection of the cultural heritage of the Russian North, Siberia and Far East.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT PROJECT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE ST. PETERSBURG BY-PASS SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION This document covers a brief description of matters related to environmental protection (EP) during the planning, design and construction of the St.Petersburg By- Pass. Ecological Impact Assessment Report sections (EIAR) were prepared during the stage of engineering design, which obtained all the necessary approvals. 1.2 THE NEED FOR THE INVESTMENT To accelerate construction on the basis of the Program of development of the road network "Roads of Russia of XXI century", which was reviewed and approved at the session of the RF Government dated June 28, 2001, the Government of Russian Federation issued directions aimed at speeding up construction of this project. The construction of the By-Pass will divert a considerable part of traffic beyond the borders of the built up areas and thus improve the environmental situation in St.Petersburg by decreasing the traffic volume and increasing the traffic speed. 1.3 BASIC LEGISLATIVE ACTS REGULATING THE USE AND PROTECTION OF CERTAIN KINDS OF RESOURCES S The law of the RSFSR "Protection of environment" of December 19, 1991 (amended by Laws of the Russian Federation of 21 February 1992 No.2397-1, 2 June 1993 No.5076-1, 10 June 2001 No. 93-FZ, 27 December 2000 No. 150-FZ, 30 December 2001 No. 194-FZ, 30 December 2001 No. 196-FZ); 1 S Water Code of the Russian Federation of November 16, 1995.

  • Reminiscences About L. V. Shubnikov1
    O. N. Trapeznikova. Reminiscences about L. V. Shubnikov1 (English translation by Yaroslaw Bazaliy, University of South Carolina. 2019.) Olga Nikolaevna Trapeznikova2 (the widow of L. V. Shubnikov) b. 1901 [- 1997], Doctor of Sciences, senior scientist at Lenigrad University. A student of the Department of Physics and Mathe- matics of the Petrograd University from 1919 till 1924, an assis- tant at Leiden laboratory from 1927 to 1930, worked at UFTI3 from 1930 till 1937 (joined the Cryogenic Laboratory in 1931). I first met Lev Vasilievich Shubnikov when both of us where about 9-10 years old. Our families were spending summers in Finland,4 and our summer houses where next to each other. Lev Vasilievich was there with his younger sister, Liusia. We were a large and loud group of kids, running around the village, visiting the lake and the forest nearby. Nobody seemed to like Leva and Liusia and we never talked to them too much. During the winter time in St. Petersburg we would never meet and there were no contacts between us during the years in gymnasium. The Shubnikovs lived in Petrogradsky district on Gatchina Street. Lev Vasilievich was attending the gymnasium on the Lentovskaya Street. This gymnasium had a reputation of being an advanced school. His parents always complained that he was a pretty turbulent boy, not to be left alone even for a minute. He would do things like sewing through his finger with a sewing machine. I was told by Scheinman, a mathematician, who was a classmate of Shubnikov at the Lentovskaya Street gymnasium 1From the book \L.

  • ICOMOS HERITAGE ALERT September 2017 ICOMOS (Russia)
    ICOMOS HERITAGE ALERT September 2017 ICOMOS (Russia) ICOMOS (Russia) – St. Petersburg Branch ICOMOS Germany ICOMOS ISC 20C Factory “Red Banner”, Saint-Petersburg, Russia 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The world-famous masterpiece of avant-garde industrial architecture, the Red Banner Textile Factory in St. Petersburg, has largely lost its visual and aesthetic integrity; its major elements are currently under the threat of demolition. The factory ensemble was designed by the great German architect Erich Mendelsohn. Partly redesigned by Leningrad architects S.O. Ovsyannikov and Hyppolit Pretreaus and engineer E.A. Tretyakov, the project was implemented in 1926–1937. The ensemble is the only work by Mendelsohn in Russia (with the exception of several buildings in the Kaliningrad region) and one of the very few examples of Soviet architectural heritage created in collaboration with European countries. The ensemble of the Red Banner Factory is one of the most prominent industrial and technical monuments in Russia and around the world. The power station (CHPS) is an important part of Mendelsohn’s artistic legacy that, as compared to his buildings in Germany, maintains a high level of historical accuracy, including original interior design elements. The factory has retained its architectural authenticity and, until recently, visual integrity without significant changes. It is now directly threatened by: the residential building erected in 2016–2017 immediately adjacent to the power station; the renovation project altering the spatial arrangement and destroying the original elements; potential demolition of the other factory buildings; the demolition and construction of new buildings in the neighborhood, compromising the visual integrity of the ensemble. Among other reasons, these threats are due to the inadequate protection status of the monument and the lack of a proper protection zone of the cultural heritage site of international significance.
