The mansion of textile manufacturer Alexander Demidov, built in 1912 to a design by architect Konstantin Demidov on Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya Street in Moscow, is recognized as an object of cultural heritage.

The historical building has rather complex architectural forms - in its appearance one can see features of both neo-Gothic, such as a gable with a gable end, and Art Nouveau - mosaic inserts, filings and decorative metal elements. The interior decor in neoclassical style with eclectic elements - wooden panels, coffered ceilings of stained oak in the Lobby and Dining Room, bas-reliefs, stucco and carved stone decor, elements of artificial marble - has been well preserved to this day. The built-in furniture has also been preserved.

The exhibition “Piranesi's Ideal City” opens in the museum-apartment of Arkhip Kuindzhi.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi was born on Venetian soil, but his whole life was connected with Rome. The city became not only a place of work, but also his main motive. The local architecture served as both a setting and a subject of study. The master considered himself the heir of ancient architects. Engravings with ruins, temples and arches, the grandeur of forms, strictness of proportions and scale - everything in his works is subordinated to the idea of immortality of Roman civilization. But Piranesi was not only interested in real monuments. He created his own worlds - architectural fantasies, where reality yields to imagination. Prisons, ruins of fictional buildings, labyrinths - on these sheets of paper lines lose stability, the perspective is frightening, and space becomes a mystery. The master's work influenced architects, writers and philosophers. He anticipated Romanticism and shaped the visual language of neoclassicism.

The famous Siberian Roman Catholic church in Krasnoyarsk, built in 1910-1911 s according to the project of architect Vladimir Sokolovsky, is waiting for a comprehensive restoration.

The church on Dekabristov Street, 20, which used to be called Batalionny Lane, has a complicated history. Funds for it were collected throughout Yenisei province. After the revolution, in 1922, the church was nationalized and then leased to the religious community. Since 1936 the church housed a radio committee. The services were resumed only in 1993.

The building is famous also for the organ, which appeared in 1983 after the restoration of the church. The only organ in the territory of the region was made in a Czech factory.

The kirkha and its six-story square tower are an object of cultural heritage of regional significance. The first wooden church of St. George in the northwestern part of Friedland was built in 1313. As a result of the Lithuanian army attack, the building was burnt down. In the 1360s-1380s a new brick church with a sacristy and a tower was built. After the hostilities of 1945 the building was not damaged, but it was looted. In 1990 the church was handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church, and in 2005 it was consecrated.

However, the construction of the estate was completed only in 1903 by its new owner - hereditary honorary citizen Serafima Krasilshchikova. In Soviet times the building housed communal apartments, and since the middle of the twentieth century - the Egyptian Embassy.

A fresh edition of “Russian Provincial Estate. M.A.Polyakova and E.N.Savinova, “Russian Provincial Estate.

The authors trace the evolution of the Russian provincial manor: from the fortified manor houses of the XVII century, prosperous and modest estates of the XVIII-XIX centuries to the decaying old noble nests of the early XX century.

The main object of study of historians became country estates of middle-class wealth. It is impossible to imagine the Russian summer landscape of the bygone centuries without small wooden manor houses of any architecture, drowning in the greenery of gardens. The childhood years of a whole pleiad of Russian writers, poets, artists, scientists, thinkers and political figures - A.S. Pushkin, S.T. Aksakov, M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, A.A. Fet, J.P. Polonsky, A.A. Blok, A.T. Bolotov, N.I. Turgenev, A.S. Griboyedov and many others - were spent there.

According to the decision of the Arbitration Court, St. Petersburg State University is obliged to restore the building of the First Cadet Corps, located on the Cadet Line of Vasilyevsky Island, by January 2027.

“This is the former building of the Home Front Academy, which was transferred to the university to be adapted for modern use. In fact, to accommodate classrooms there, to expand the university's space. Unfortunately, for a long time no work has been carried out there. All this is explained by the lack of funding” - said Vice-Governor V. Omelnitsky.

At the beginning of the XVIII century, part of the site along the Cadet Line was part of the estate of the first governor of St. Petersburg, Prince A.D.Menshikov. In 1731 the estate was occupied by the First Land Nobility Corps, for the needs of which the plots of the French Sloboda were attached to the former estate. The southern two-storied part of the building was rebuilt in 1730-1740 s according to the project of architect D. Trezzini. Part of the Cadet Corps premises in the 1740s was occupied by the Ferre boarding house.

The First Cadet Corps is associated with the names of many famous military commanders - B.H.Minikh, P.A.Rumyantsev, A.V.Suvorov, M.I.Kutuzov, I.I.Betsky. Here taught J.B.Valen-Delamotte, A.Rinaldi, V.I.Bazhenov, and studied K.F.Ryleyev, P.L.Shilling, V.F.Petrushevsky.

Since 1863 the building was used by the Pavlovsk Military School, and in 1882 it was again given to the First Cadet Corps.

The cadet corps was abolished in 1918. Until 1920 the building was occupied by the 3rd Finnish courses of the Red Army and the 1st Petrograd Infantry School.

Yesterday, specialists of ACM Group conducted an author's supervision of the Keli, Doshkhakle and Nizhny Pui tower complexes. The season of restoration works in the mountainous Ingushetia is open.

The Moscow State University received the status of a high-rise building thanks to the efforts of academician Alexander Nesmeyanov. In 1948, he became rector and immediately began actively asking the authorities for new space for the university. At that time MSU was living in the buildings on Mokhovaya Street, which were seriously damaged during the war. Stalin personally learned about the needs of MSU and gave the university the highest of the “seven sisters”. Its height together with the spire reaches 240 meters - until 1990 it was the tallest building in Europe.

During the construction process, not only the purpose of the high-rise changed, but also the chief architect. Boris Iofan, the author of the unrealized project of the cyclopean Palace of Soviets, was preferred to Lev Rudnev, an equally prominent figure, but more accommodating, who attracted to the project engineer Nikolai Nikitin, the author of the Ostankino Tower. It was Nikitin who proposed an innovative solution - to strengthen the building with a steel frame, which took 40,000 tons of metal to build. And 175 million bricks were used to build the walls. A temporary railroad was built to deliver goods to the site.

By the way, the same amount of money was allocated for the grandiose construction as for the restoration of Stalingrad.

The shape of the building was also original - the buildings are located in the letter “Zh”, so students often call the high-rise “spider”.

About 200 sculptors and artists participated in the decoration of MSU. For example, Alexander Daineka created mosaic portraits of world scientists for the foyer, and Vera Mukhina created the monumental composition “Eternal Youth of Science”.

The restoration of the main facade of the legendary Kharitonov Printing House was completed in Kazan.

Currently, the building of the former printing house houses the Housing Policy Department of the Executive Committee of Kazan.
