The Architecture and Planning of Classical Moscow: A Cultural HistoryAmerican Philosophical Society, 1989 - 218 Seiten Dr. Schmidt describes the building & planning schemes in Moscow from approx. the accession of Catherine the Great in the early 1760s to the mid-reign of Nicholas I, about 1840. The author maintains that despite the enormous destruction of historic Moscow caused by the reordering of Gorkii (the old Tverskaia) St. & the Kalinin Prospect (the Arbat) under Stalin & Khrushchev, there still exists a significant remnant of the classical city which rose from the ashes of the great fire in 1812. The architects of the classical city--Catherine's builders, Vasilii Bazhenov & Matvei Kazakov, & those who rebuilt Moscow after 1812, Osip Bove, Domenico Giliardi, & Afanasii Grigor'ev--are featured together with their individual architectural creations as well as their broader city-planning accomplishments. In many respects an atlas of the boulevards & thoroughfares of central Moscow, this book both recreates the Moscow of another era & adds to the understanding of the contours & character of the modern Soviet metropolis.

Seite 8 - Rogger's thesis is his insistence that "national consciousness presupposes extensive exposure to alien ways; it presupposes a class or group of men capable of responding to that exposure; it requires, moreover, the existence of a secular cultural community or an attempt at its formation.
Seite 8 - Rogger describes this sense of awareness as "a striving for a common identity, character, and culture by the articulate members of a given community," which is "characteristic of a stage of development in which thinking individuals have been able to emerge from anonymity, to seek contact and communication with one another.
Seite 16 - The roofs are shingled and then covered with birch bark or sod. For this reason they often have great fires. Not a month, nor even a week, goes by without some homes — or, if the wind is strong, whole streets — going up in smoke. Several nights while we were there we saw flames rising in three or four places at once. Shortly before our arrival, a third of the city burned down, and we were told that the same thing happened four years earlier. When such disasters occur, the streltsi and special...

European culture, articulate Russians were forced to develop for themselves a national self in which they could take pride and with which they could identify."

Seite 8 - National consciousness, being neither the blind reaction of the masses, nor the religious seer's vision of divine election for his people, was particularly the product of the articulate, the educated, the literate portion of society— that is, its most highly Westernized sector. From the very start, this placed upon it a rather definite stamp, and explains why national consciousness did not, and in fact, could not, mean for the men of the eighteenth century a decisive turning away from contact with...
