On January 26, a meeting of the press club of the Arkhnadzor public movement was held in Moscow, dedicated to the development prospects of the All-Russian Exhibition Center. The full video recording of the meeting, posted on the blog of the movement, made it possible for all those interested to virtually attend it. The fate of VSKhV - VDNKh - VVTs became one of the most discussed topics this week in the Our Heritage blog. In his post, Pavel Nefyodov tells not only about the history of the creation of a unique complex, but also about their reconstruction and current state, citing archival documents and photographs of buildings that have been destroyed or seriously rebuilt long ago.

No less interest was aroused by a photo report from the reconstructed building of Detsky Mir. Images of the completely dismantled department store interiors first spread on blogs and then hit the pages of major news media. According to bloggers commenting on the photographic material, the department store will never become the same, even if its dimensions and facades remain unchanged.

Perm public figure and city rights activist Denis Galitsky continues to defend the rights of the city art gallery. Recall that in December last year, the building of the Transfiguration Cathedral, where the gallery is located, was transferred to the use of the local patriarchate, but the museum workers did not receive a new room to house the collections. On December 9, Galitsky sent a letter to the prosecutor's office of the Perm Territory, insisting that the rights of the art gallery in this case, as well as federal legislation, were violated. The official response of the instance, which announced that the gallery's management could try to defend their rights in court, was posted by the city rights activist on his blog along with a detailed commentary.

Local historian Denis Romodin, who is now traveling in Europe, published a blog post about one of the most curious Roman buildings of the 20th century - Palazzetto dello Sport, which was designed by the famous Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi and architect Annibale Vitellozzi. The history of the creation of this structure, which has an original thin-walled concrete vault, is accompanied by archival photographs and a mass of copyright photographs demonstrating the current state of the monument.

Another historical material has been published in the Cities and Areas of Russia community. It is dedicated to the panoramas of the city of Myshkin, filmed a hundred years ago and today. Color photographs of a century ago, included in the famous collection of Proskudin-Gorsky, can be compared with actual photographs taken from points as close as possible to the original ones. By the way, over a hundred years, the general panorama of Myshkin has not undergone very strong changes, in particular, the two main city cathedrals, the Assumption and Nikolsky, have survived to this day, although the latter, unfortunately, has lost its bell tower.

But the panorama of Moscow, taken from a skyscraper on Kudrinskaya Square in 1955, is strikingly different from the cityscape that opens from the same platform today. You can verify this by looking at the blog of Alexei Nazarov, who published both panoramic images.

The blog "Our Heritage" published material about the so-called "Stalinist low-rise buildings" - residential buildings that appeared in many Soviet cities in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Brick houses with a height of two or three floors, built in the style of Stalinist classicism, can still be found in many cities of the post-Soviet space. Bloggers tried to compile the most complete photo selection of the types of such buildings - alas, now "low-rise buildings" are increasingly being demolished as part of the implementation of global construction plans, and those that remain are undergoing major reconstruction.

The blog World in a Tree, which tells about buildings and projects made from this ecological material, devoted a separate publication to the Finnish city-park Karisto, where all residential areas, as well as playgrounds and entertainment facilities are built of wood. And the famous St. Petersburg architect Sergei Oreshkin published in ru_architect his own top-5 of the best buildings in St. Petersburg over the past 25 years.
