Summary

The architecture of the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s and mid?-1930s is attracting more and more attention from both domestic and foreign researchers, but in spite of this, entire regions Ưremain unexplored. One of them, until recently, was the South of Russia ? an area that encomƯpasses the Southern Federal DisƯƯtrict and the North Caucasus Federal District.0The state of this architectural heritage deserves special mention. In the South of Russia during the Second World War, there were active hostilities and mass destruction. Over the course of post-war reconstruction, many buildings were rebuilt in a neoƯclassical style, and a whole layer of avant-Ưgarde works nearly disappeared. During the post-ƯSoviet years, the management of these buildings was no less destructive.0The product of extensive research, this guidebook divides the objects in question into two groups: those that have survived and those that have been lost forever. ƯFortunately, Architectural Guide The South of ƯRussia allows readers to see more than 100 selected buildings of the Soviet avantgarde with their own eyes.
