  • Tsaritsyno Museum and Reserve in Moscow Was Founded In1984 in the Park of the Same Name
    Tsaritsyno museum and reserve in Moscow was founded in1984 in the park of the same name. The18th-century architecture ensemble was built (though not finished) following the order of Catherine II in Neo-Gothic style, after projects of the Bazhenov and Kazakov, and it is the only 18th-century architectural ensemble of such dimensions in Russia. History The estate is known from the late 16th century, when it belonged to Tsaritsa Irina, sister of Tsar Boris Godunov. At that time it was called Bogorodskoye. In the 17th century it belonged to the Streshnevs and then to the Galitzines. In 1775, the estate was bought by empress Catherine the Great, who happened to be passing through the area and fell in love with the picturesque beauty of the land. It received its present name, which means “Tsaritsa’s”. In 1776-85 architect Vasili Bazhenov built a palace for the Empress there. When the palace was almost complete, the Empress visited Tsaritsyno to inspect it. She declared the rooms to be too cramped and dark, and the palace unlivable. As a result, Catherine ordered the palace to be torn down. The remnants of the foundation of Bazhenov's original palace are still visible in the park. In 1786, Matvey Kazakov presented new architectural plans, which were approved by Catherine. Kazakov supervised the construction project until 1796 when the construction was interrupted by Catherine's death. Her successor, Emperor Paul I of Russia showed no interest in the palace and the massive structure remained unfinished and abandoned for more than 200 years, until it was completed and extensively reworked in 2005-07.

The article is devoted to the development of religious buildings of Neogothic style and their stylistic features in the second half of the XVIII century. During the preromantic period the hobby for a Neogothic style in Russia has been connected with idealized idea of customers about the Middle Ages. The gothic style attracted them with exotic shapes. The desire of customers to create illusion of travel to the past over the different countries, typical for a sentimentalism era. was one of the reasons for the emergence of neogothic constructions in the Russian Empire. 1 Introduction In the first period of Neogothic style in the Russian Empire on the territory of its capital - St. Petersburg was not built a single church in the Neogothic forms, but those can be seen in the vicinity of the city. It should also be noted that the religious buildings of St. Petersburg in its appearance virtually no features characteristic of Old Russian architecture, differing from that of Moscow. 2 The Neogothic orthodox churches and chapels built near St. Petersburg in the 2nd half of the XVIII century The first of them is the church of St John the Baptist (Figure 1) on Kamenniy Island - Orthodox church built near the city border, (now it is the centre of St.

  • Soviet Architecture in Central Asia, 1920S-1930S
    “Soviet Architecture and its National Faces ”: Soviet Architecture in Central Asia, 1920s-1930s By Anna Pronina Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Comparative History Supervisor: Professor Charles Shaw Second Reader: Professor Marsha Siefert CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2020 Copyright Notice Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The thesis “Soviet Architecture and its National Faces”: Soviet Architecture in Central Asia, 1920s-1930s is devoted to the various ways Soviet Central Asian architecture was imagined during the 1920s and the 1930s. Focusing on the discourses produced by different actors: architects, Soviet officials, and restorers, it examines their perception of Central Asia and the goals of Soviet architecture in the region. By taking into account the interdependence of national and architectural history, it shows a shift in perception from the united cultural region to a set of national republics with their own histories and traditions. The thesis proves that national architecture of the Soviet Union, and in Central Asia in particular, was a visible issue in public architectural discussions. Therefore, architecture played a significant role in forging national cultures in Soviet Central Asia.
