Today, a lecture entitled "Restoration of Historic Landscape Architecture Objects" will be held at the I.V. Pashkov House at 39 Liteiny Prospekt in St. Petersburg.
Before the Revolution, the field of garden and park restoration as an academic discipline did not exist in Russia.
The restoration of Leningrad's parks was first considered in the 1930s. The first general plan for Leningrad in 1938, as a priority for green space, called for the restoration of gardens and parks at risk of destruction: Petrovsky, Stroganov, Udelny, and the First of May Garden (Ekateringof). The plan also called for the restoration of neglected suburban parks.
After the Great Patriotic War, large-scale restoration work began in Leningrad's parks, which remains unfinished to this day.
