Chernyavskaya, E. N. Symbols of State in the Territory of Moscow
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the development
of symbols of state in Moscow throughout the
times: the Kremlin (still remains a symbol) and
Ivan the Great, Pokrovsky Cathedral on the Moat,
the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Palace of
the Soviets with its supertall skyscrappers, Moscow
International Business Center ‘Moscow City’.
The author describes the governor’s idea of Russia’s
role in world affairs reflected in each architectural
symbol. It is stressed out that there were
no such architectural symbols of state in 1920
and 1960 – 1980 when the functional architecture
ruled and only architectural signs were created.
The author also discovered the meaning of
compositional and planning connections between
the symbols, for instance, between Ivan the Great
and neighboring cities and important manors of
nobility built near Moscow; between the Palace of
the Soviets and new Stalin-era buildings, and etc.
Traditional meaning of architectural axis buildings
also expoains the current tendencies in developing
the south-west of Moscow.
Keywords:
