Photogallery of the most
serious violations of historical environment
of Dmitrov in
recent years
Attention!
The following text
was translated from the Russian original by the computer program
and has not yet been
edited.
So it can be used
only for general introduction.
Hotel-office
centre "Dmitrov Posad, built in 1988, was the "first swallow"
swept Dmitrov wave of historical stylization. But this "ninth wave"
stylisations occurred in 2004, when we celebrated the 850 anniversary of
Dmitrov.
There
are, for example, "old" gates were built in trees. Do not waste time
on the arguments as a "structure" corresponds to the historical
truth.
Many
of the buildings inside the walls to the anniversary of "licking" and
enclosed bars...
At
the same time those buildings that were in bad condition, began to look even worse.
In
some places instead of lattices built prop fences. High enough to hide the
slums, so full of "Potemkin villages" failed.
Neighboring
trees unsightly Soviet factory tint only from the outside. On the shafts were
built fake fence (apparently to cover up this "inside out"), but not
completed.
But erected fake (I apologize for the repetition of the words, but nothing can be done) bronze bridge and two horseshoes. Sculptor Alexander Rukavishnikov.
Another
built a few small sculptures on the pillars near the crossing of the street
Semeniuk. On a good asphalt around them money, probably not enough....
But
a lot of sculptures.
A
pit in the pavement - even more.
No,
sculptures still, probably more. This photo shows only a small part of the
composition on
Here is one of those sculptures closer. In the background - shafts.
And
who is this? Especially one with a huge bald head? And it is not somewhere on the
edge, and near Cathedral of the assumption of...
This
Cyril and Methodius, and the head of one of them only seems bald: sculptor
(same Rukavishnikov) somehow never worked hair on his head.
That
is "inspired" person at one of rukavishnikovskih figures.
But
as this figure holds (or rather, drops) book.
And
this big-and short - legged dwarf-Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, the founder of
Dmitrov. Sculptor... Right? Yes, the same Alexander Rukavishnikov. Often, very
often have to repeat the name in connection with the 850-year anniversary, has
transformed the historic city centre in tasteless dummy. In fairness, we note
that Rukavishnikov worked not one, but in a creative collaboration with the
architect Rostislav Nara.
As
always, in the form of "branded rukavishnikovskaya spirituality.
And
the gesture of the right hand of the statue of Prince whether by accident or
specially repeats...
...The right hand's gesture located in front of the statue of Lenin. Only the latter proportions more appropriate...
There
is another monument. Kropotkin, is pre. Of course, on
The
whole "theatre sculptural absurd" complement nearby the three
bears...
...And two moose.
And the monastery of STS - again Rukavishnikov again "jubilee" in 2004. We the sculptor carved this time? I do not Tartar-Mongols Lee (judging by the fur-trimmed hats, light spears and small dlinnogrivym steppe horses) are going to conquer Russia? No, it princes Boris and Gleb.
These
are the contrasts can be seen near the historic center (Minin street).
The
invasion of "new Russian" mansions in the historic private building -
alas, for the cities in the Moscow case is normal. Not passed the Cup and
Dmitrov. On photo - Kropotkin street. This is not about the historic center,
this historic center.
It
is very symbolic: here's public reception of the Governor of Moscow region on
the street Lira Nikolskaya...
This
Villa is next to it...
Here's
another Villa next to it, but on the other hand. All as in "new
Russian" cottage settlements, even saying ' beware of the dog!". Only
this vicious dog barking from under the high dark fence is not in the cottage,
but in the heart of Dmitrov.
Right
next to the ramparts constructed "family cafe. Even if it was soon after
construction and does not become a cereal restaurant, anyway historical
appearance Kropotkinskaya street this building, to put it mildly, not decorate.
Probably,
road builders remember that Dmitrov is a historic city, and put the asphalt
"cultural layer"without destroying the previous (Minina street).
But
that's the roadway streets in such a "layering" steadily rises.
Accordingly, the nearby old (more precisely, for historical house as ever
"fail" and become very uncomfortable to stay. And sooner or later the
question arises: does not build it on their site (in this case on the street
Minin) something new?
For
example, a new building here, "crushing" even the big houses of the
Brezhnev era?
And
here is the result: proudly lifted up to unprecedented heights cranes (view
from the street of Semenyuk in a side street of the Zagorsk). There will soon be
constructed that will hang over the historical centre of Dmitrov?
