Indeed, very sorry!
And the worst thing that this does not stop.
For a long time lived on Plyushchikha, and there was a quay, not built-up, the only one in Moscow. Over the past 5 years it built up and remained little square, which, of course, "ennobled" benches and lamps, and, before that happened, the local residents, which just did not take - and demonstrations, writing wherever they can, and .... nothing helped. They wanted to build up and built up.
So, again, very sorry!

That's right, the center being built on all new buildings. Houses squeezed himself, where possible. Where there were once parks and free spaces, unbend and feet and eyes, increased monsters who have broken the harmony, which was established by previous generations of architects. Of course, Moscow is not accustomed to be subjected to barbaric desecration. At the beginning of perestroika, I sincerely believed that it stop. But not here - it was! The destruction of Moscow not only continued, but flared up!
      In all of this, in Moscow, especially in the east, there is a huge industrial area, not representing any no historical or artistic value, which just asks to be ennobled by modern buildings. And in the center of the building you can find anything from itself is not presented. Why are destroyed and the fragile Remade unrecognizable fragments of old Moscow!? No, no, yes and zakradetsya idea: rather than specifically whether it is done? As if trying to deprive us of the memory of the memory that connects us with our ancestors, of the memory, which gives us confidence in the present and hope for the future!

And what did with Neskuchny garden? Why Destroy?

It's terrible what they do! I even go there I'm afraid to not get upset! And so it flies in the daily bustle of dying in a car by witnesses of our history!
      I do not know of any other such cities, where would such a negligent attitude to face its past! London, Paris, Vienna, Rome, Berlin show us examples of respect for the history, whatever it may be. History as a mother - it does not choose!

The main culprit Moscow outrages, the destroyer of the historical appearance of the capital all believe the old man Baturin. What is certainly true. Construction and contracting couple pretty worked on the problem of architectural heritage. Somewhere in itself, somewhere - a loyal company (which may become invalid and, as perestroikists hotel "Russia" Chigirinsky). Snotty Voentorg in place an outstanding monument of architecture; spherical cap on the former site of the Manege Square. And so yes, Lee - on the list. As compensation for judges of authenticity proposed line from Stalin's national anthem at the newly restored "Kursk". "We were brought up Stalin allegiance to the people." It sounds like the voice of the subconscious.


But. The old man Baturin and reliable baturintsy acted to the best of their own understanding. Who are they? Basically - shanties of the poor guys who spend his childhood in a dream of a rich and bright. Merry leaders ovoschebaz, by an irony of history found themselves leaders of megacities. Capable and even charming at first. But completely devoid of cultural outlook. Carriers of wild ideas about the beautiful. The main thing - to all large, clean, brilliant. With turrets. Because the tower useless. Only the beggar thinks necessary; luxury is in excess.

These same qualities are endowed with some successful metropolitan builders, bright nouveau riche who are convinced that the Melnikov House in downtown is no place better to transport it somewhere far away, so as not to interfere (in fact, quoting an interview with one of them).

From rags to riches; to Sharikov principle: so lucky so lucky. And if you bring a historical and aesthetic claims, it is not so much to them as knowledgeable advisors in the ignorant government. In the end, Baturin are entitled to retire, for the buzzing of bees next favorite albums Andriyaki posohinskie and looking at the drawings. Not having the right to another: to impose their taste country. And this is a question for the professionals, built-in power and /or beneficial interaction with it.

With our strong, talented architects do not know what is happening with the capital? In a closed circle, do not condemn those who have disfigured? They know the condemned. But co-operation - continue.

Community at least once in a boycott are incompatible with the title of the architect? Does anyone had to leave the profession, because reputation is ruined? The previous head of the Moscow Heritage Committee (newly appointed until that tries to behave differently) all knew and said nothing. Or Moscow chief architect. Unlike his boss, he is well versed in the history of culture. At meetings quietly opposed to the obvious evils. But when the authorities need - covers up its own authority. Reasoning about the danger of wooden floors. On the priority of security over the authenticity of (the last example - from an interview about the demolition in Sadovnicheskaya). And the undeniable talent of universal Sir Norman Foster. Power gets receptor and acts. Of course: knowing people say!

The whole system is kept in Moscow that specialists launder dilettantes. And while no protests and resignations. Only general povyazannost and involvement. Scientific experts at the Governor. Pliant fellow scientists specialists. And colleagues of colleagues. It will take decades, the policy will be forgotten, bleaching factory earned no money, and encyclopedias will remain in litters: architects such and such and such and such, and such that were talented, but surrendered unconditionally, and are responsible for the disappearance of the historic town .

In the 19 th century Osman destroyed a lot of buildings 17 and 18 centuries in Paris and ponastroit the fact that there is today. And now we know and love this Paris.
Of course, in Moscow, a slightly different situation.
Dully destroy what you can save and keep for posterity - barbaric!

Olden is tourism. The peculiarity of the city is much more profitable.

    So I do not understand why such a clear and understandable idea never occurred to the Moscow authorities! It works in all countries of the world and brings the city's coffers huge profits. Perhaps short-term interests of individual actors is much more important thing (from their point of view) than the public interest?
      Tourism could provide not only in revenue for the city, but additional jobs through small business development. The benefit is obvious! And therefore all the more puzzling, why continue to destroy the historic Moscow, despite the absolute necessity of maintaining it!

[Pavel]

Greed. Father, hear, hacks, and I bring. For the same reason, in Moscow there is no auction for the sale, and all look back at Sotheby's or ... how much there is, as if they do not know about it and do everything In order to fool here. No matter how much Moscow had taxes? And we know how much this renovation, a million dollars.

Christ the Savior Church - in Moscow, a monument to victory in the war of 1812 (elevation 100 m). Built project Ton KA 26 MJ 1883 (construction lasted from 10 CH 1839). Differ luxury of internal and external decoration. Exploding 5 DK 1931.
 
Cathedral of Christ the Savior

The history of the church began immediately after the expulsion from Russia remnants of Napoleon's army. 25 DK 1812, Emperor Alexander I made a vow to erect a temple in memory of the deliverance of the country from invasion. "The preservation of the eternal memory of such unprecedented zeal, fidelity and love of faith and homeland, what in these difficult times, exalted themselves the people of Russia, and in commemoration of gratitude to our to the Providence of God, have decided We throned city of Nash Moscow to erect a church in the name of the Savior Christ. ..
Yes would stay this temple for many centuries, and yes smoked in it before the holy throne of God incense of gratitude to late delivery, with love and imitation of the affaires of their ancestors "- read the Emperor's manifesto. Already in this first conception of alleged special importance to the church for the people of Russia, understanding of its history, the close connection history of the temple with the course of public life.

The first draft of the temple was made in 1813, a young architect, pupil of the Academy of Arts Vitberg AL Ceremonial laying of the temple took place on the Sparrow Hills 12 OK 1817. The construction, which soon had to stop because of the unsuitability of the soil. Continuing his royal brother, the Emperor Nicholas I approved in 1832 a new project, executed by Academician architecture Tong KA

Emperor himself chose the site on a hill on the bank of the Moskva River near the Kremlin, on the ground deteriorated Alekseevskogo nunnery, established a commission to build a new church. Ceremonial laying of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow took place on 10 CH 1839.

The works were carried out by order of Emperor Nicholas I, Alexander II and Alexander III, to the good pleasure now sainted permanent member of the Holy Synod, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Filaret (Drozdov) and the Bishop of Dmitrov, Leonid (Krasnopevkova). Direct supervision exercised governor-general of Moscow, Prince Golitsyn DV and led them to commission the construction of the temple. Christ the Savior Cathedral has become one of the most ambitious in the history of world culture examples of the synthesis of various types of fine art.

Thanks to the Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Filaret 13 DK 1880 the church was given the name of the cathedral. His solemn consecration took place on 26 MJ 1883 in the presence of Emperor Alexander III. The architecture of the temple, conceived by a tone, KA, was new and significant for its time. Cathedral of Christ the Savior was the first church buildings so great ideological significance and the grand scale, where the author tried to summarize the national building traditions of Russia, other than the classic.

The appearance of the cathedral said that Russian architecture was based on the Byzantine tradition, about how it was transformed during the Middle Ages of Vladimir and Moscow masters. At the same time, he retained the severity and symmetry, born "learned" academic classicism. Decoration of the temple also had for its time, perhaps the highest expression of Russia's academic.
Tolstoy FP, PK Klodt, Loganovsky PA, Ramazanov NA participated in the creation of sculpture on the facade of the cathedral. Murals painted by Bruni, FA, Vereshchagin VP, Koshelev, NA, Kramskogo IN, VE Makovsky, Markov AT, Neff TA, Pryanishnikova IM, Sorokin ES, Surikova VI, Semiradsky GI and dr.hudozhnikov representing the school of Russian historical painting, formed by the Imperial Academy of Arts. Cathedral has a vital place in the spiritual life of the nation. Christ the Savior Cathedral held a special place in the formation of the national spirit. There has been a nation-wide celebrations, coronation, the most important events in the life of the country. It is difficult, perhaps even impossible to find a building that would be more "talking" about Rossiyskom state of the imperial age, his wealth and fame, the nature of the relationship of the monarchy and the church and the power of what has been achieved by the Russian people during the period, which we now clearly understand, was the time of its highest peak during the thousand-year history. Since the adoption of Christianity in Russia, the church was a unifying and invigorating force, the embodiment of the spiritual world. Cathedral of Christ the Savior became visible embodiment of faith, the grandeur and glory of Russia. That is why the Cathedral of Christ the Savior after the Revolution suffered a tragic fate. In 1917-1918 the All-Russia Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church has restored the patriarchate in Russia, and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, was elected Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia - Tikhon, ranked now the Russian Orthodox Church canonized. However, JAN 1918 a decree was issued NOC on freedom of conscience, and above the Church of Christ the Savior under the threat of destruction. Following the publication of Commission Regulation Board construction of the Palace of Congresses of the Presidium of the USSR Central vested with legislative power, to erect in Moscow Palace of Soviets on the site of the temple.

5 December 1931 the Russian national shrine - the Temple of Christ the Savior was blown up.
