The purpose of this article is to analyze and interpret the architectural features of the Pomorian Pokrovsky church in Vilnius as a monument of cultural heritage. Pokrovsky church is one of the largest and most valuable part of this Old Believers complex and the cultural heritage of the Old Believers in Vilnius. Neoclassicism with its symmetry and restrained elegance dominates on the exterior of this church. In 1905-1906, after the construction of the church bell tower appeared bright features of the neo-Russian style. These two architectural styles harmoniously complement each other and give the Pokrovsky church a unique identity that distinguishes it from all other Old Believers churches in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland.

During the seismic event of May 2012 in the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy), several cultural heritage structures collapsed or were severely damaged. This paper gives a description of the damage/collapse mechanisms observed on some of these buildings. The Church of Gesù, the City Hall and the tower of the Cathedral in Mirandola (MO) were analyzed. In particular, this article focuses on the behavior analysis of a church, a palace and a bell-tower, mainly masonry construction, that are the most widespread types of protected monuments proposed in the Italian code as simplified models for the verifications on the entire cultural heritage of a prior assessment of the seismic risk. The survey permitted to detect the most significant damage, mainly related to the cracks of the masonry and to understand the different collapse mechanisms.

The Church

The article deals with a relatively unknown monument of wooden architecture – the Saint Nicholas Church (1824) in Unezhma village of the Onega District in the Arkhangelsk Region. The monument is extremely hard to reach, and it is located in a unique natural environment. The church stands out due to its architecture; however, it is poorly studied in terms of its construction history, architectural and artistic features, and interconnections with regional traditions. The church is described together with the bell tower built in 1792 as an architectural complex existing for more than four hundred years. The study is based on historical archival sources and on-site survey results. The authors traced the construction history of the Saint Nicholas Church and identified its construction stages. The appearance of the building at each construction stage was substantiated and presented through graphical reconstructions. The building was compared to similar structures found in the Onega Pomorye, and its specific architectural features were exposed. The building was also studied from the structural point of view. Based on the results of the comparison with similar structures and the analysis of their historical changes, the author made some conclusions about the original design of the church top. Historical data on the preceding church were interpreted and used to create its graphical reconstruction, together with the analysis of local architectural traditions. Thus, the article brings to light the construction history and development of the Unezhma church complex. The architecture of the Saint Nicholas Church and the bell tower has its distinctive features, but it ultimately conforms to the church-building traditions of the Onega Pomorye.

The article describes three stages of constructing the Church of the Theotokos of Tikhvin in the village of Yudmozero located in the Onega district of the Arkhangelsk region, which were discovered through the analysis of data retrieved from the State Archive of the Arkhangelsk Region, and the architectural features of these stages. The construction stages correlate with rebuilding the church in 1863 and replacing its porch and erecting a bell tower in 1907. The church is a quadrangle with a five-walled altar. The porch and the bell tower were lost. The on-site inspection of the monument enabled to classify this chapel church as a “chapel-type prayer house”, combining features of a chapel and a dwelling house. It differs from the chapels of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions or Karelia, since its core log structure is similar to a log cabin (“izba”). The chapel is distinguished by its dome and antechamber with a tent-like bell tower. The study resulted in reconstructing how the Yudmozero chapel looked between the late 18th and the early 20th centuries, and providing a brief analysis of the distinctive features of similar buildings in the villages of Vorzogory, Maloshuika, Nimenga, Podporozhye. The authors conclude that there are differences in the architectural traditions of Pomorye and the mainland Russian North, and put forward a hypothesis on the connection between the spread of chapel-type prayer houses and the Old Belief, which requires further study.

In the article, the author analyzes the state of estate complexes located on the territory of New Moscow. The author focuses his attention on several urban and suburban estates, including the country house of the Bergs, Valuevo and Klenovo villages, where remnants of cultural heritage are preserved, to consider several problems of contemporary restoration activities. It is noted that since 2011 the listed objects are under the protection of the Department of cultural heritage of the city of Moscow. The author considers the architectural features both of the estate-park complexes as a single whole, and their constituent elements, such as household buildings, elements of landscape design, and Orthodox church buildings made of stone. This article casts light on some of the difficulties that accompany the restoration of these church buildings, their safety hazards that arose in the post-industrial period, the period when traditional cultural links were disrupted. The comparative-historical method, as well as methods for retrospective analysis of historical sources, generalization and identification of the main features of architectural styles, serve as the basis of this research project.

With reference to Yu. F. Samarin’s thesis on “Formalism” of the Church Life in the Pre-Petrine Period, the article examines the issue of the role of fasts, eating patterns and daily routine in general among most radical groups of Old Believers. The author of the article draws the conclusion that such conceptions were rooted in the Pre-Nikon Russian religious (monkish) traditions. The author pays special attention to the social and political aspect of the connection between food and payer for the Tsar in the context of the “spiritual Antichrist” teaching.

As If

My paper analyses the 15th-century seven-sacraments font at the medieval church of St Peter and St Paul at Salle in Norfolk (England). The church guides and gazetteers that describe the font, and the church in which it is situated, owe both their style and content to Art History, focusing as they do on their material and aesthetic dimensions. The guides also tend towards isolating the various elements of the font, and these in turn from the rest of the architectural elements, fittings and furniture of the church, as if they could be meaningfully experienced or interpreted as discrete entities, in isolation from one another. While none of the font descriptions can be faulted for being inaccurate, they can, as a result of these tendencies, be held insufficient, and not quite to the purpose. My analysis of the font, by means of Heidegger’s concept of Dwelling, does not separate the font either from the rest of the church, nor from other fonts, but acknowledges that it comes to be, and be seen as, what it is only when considered as standing in ‘myriad referential relations’ to other things, as well as to ourselves. This perspective has enabled me to draw out what it is about the font at Salle that can be experienced as not merely beautiful or interesting, but also as meaningful to those—believers and non-believers alike—who encounter it. By reconsidering the proper mode of perceiving and engaging with the font, we may spare it from being commodified, from becoming a unit in the standing reserve of cultural heritage, and in so doing, we, too, may be momentarily freed from our false identities as units of production and agents of consumption. The medieval fonts and churches of Norfolk are, I argue, not valuable as a result of their putative antiquarian qualities, but invaluable in their extending to us a possibility of dwelling—as mortals—on the earth—under the sky—before the divinities.

Lack Of Knowledge

The purpose of this article is to reveal the work of the master of the extraordinary expressive landscape Ferdynand Ruszczyc. Because of the lack of knowledge of the topic, this goal seems relevant. The historical-biographical method served as the main method of research here. The author concludes that the work of Ferdynand Ruszczyc reveals the influence of Ivan Shishkin, and then Arkhip Kuindzhi. He was not only closely associated with the young Russian landscape school under the leadership of A.I. Kuindzhi in 1898–1905, but was also one of those who formed it and gave it its own unique identity. The dynamics of the artist from early works to later ones, his coloristic talent was remarkably manifested in such works as “Earth”, “Mill”, “Near the Church”, “Old Apple Trees”, etc. His works are characterized by a subtle combination of color and precise compositional completeness. The first Belarusian painter to lay the foundations of the national school of landscape painting, he was able to reveal the daily life of his people through the beauty of his native nature. Целью статьи является раскрытие творчества Фердинанда Эдуардовича Рущица, мастера пейзажной живописи. Эта тема недостаточно изучена и актуальна. Историко-биографический метод послужил в исследовании основным; кроме того, использовались элементы искусствоведческих методов в анализе картин. В результате автор приходит к выводу о том, что творчество Фердинанда Рущица обнаруживает влияние И.И. Шишкина, а затем и А.И. Куинджи. Ф. Рущиц был не только тесно связан с молодой русской пейзажной школой под руководством А.И. Куинджи в 1898–1905 годах, но и являлся одним из тех, кто ее формировал и придавал ей свое лицо. Динамика художника от ранних работ к более поздним, его колористический талант замечательно проявился в таких произведениях, как «Земля», «Мельница», «У костела», «Старые яблони» и других. Его произведениям присущи тонкое сочетание цвета и точная композиционная завершенность. Первым из белорусских живописцев, заложившим основы национальной школы пейзажной живописи, он смог раскрыть через красоту родной природы повседневную жизнь своего народа.

Architectural Development

The article traces the history of the origin of the Manyavsky Hermitage and reveals the stages of development of the monastery from the beginning of its foundation and formation, prosperity to the decline, destruction and revival in our time. In the course of the research, the architectural-spatial and planning structure of the monastery ensemble of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Manyava were analyzed. The originality of the ensemble lies not only in the harmonious combination of wooden, brick monastic buildings, surrounded by fortified thick walls with three towers but also in a kind of architectural and spatial combination of the main cathedral, which dominates the cells and other temples, with high dominants - the Treasury Tower and the Bell Tower. Diverse in architectural-compositional and artistic solutions, the material of construction, monastic buildings are organically integrated into the existing landscape environment and form a holistic architectural ensemble. The monastery buildings of the Great Manyavsky Hermitage have architectural and artistic value, belong to the historical and cultural heritage, and are an invaluable spiritual heritage of Ukraine.
