While the Soviet Union was notorious for leveling churches, post-Soviet Russia has only intensified the practice of massive destruction and reconstruction. Architecture of Oblivion examines the role of ruins in the development of Russia's historical consciousness from the eighteenth century to the present. Investigating the meaning and functions ruins have acquired in Russian culture, Schönle looks at ideological reasons for the current disregard for the value of ruins and historical buildings, in particular by political authorities, and reveals how ruins have often become a site of resistance to official ideology and an invitation to map out alternative visions of history and of statehood. An interdisciplinary study of Russia's response to ruins has never been attempted, although the topic of ruins has garnered considerable interest in Western Europe and in the U.S. This original work from a leading authority on the subject will appeal to historians of Russian culture and thought, literature and art scholars, and general readers interested in ruins. 606 $aArchitecture and society$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aArchitecture and society$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aArchitecture$zRussia$xAesthetics$xHistory 606 $aArchitecture$zSoviet Union$xAesthetics$xHistory 606 $aCity and town life$zRussia$xHistory 607 $aRussia$xHistory$xPhilosophy 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory$xPhilosophy 607 $aRussia$xAntiquities 607 $aSoviet Union$xAntiquities 610 $aRussian ruins, post-Soviet Russian destruction and reconstruction, Russia's historical consciousness, Russian disregard for ruins and historical buildings. 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory. 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory. 615 0$aArchitecture$xAesthetics$xHistory. 615 0$aArchitecture$xAesthetics$xHistory. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 676 $a720.947 700 $aScho?nle$b Andreas$0954757 702 $aFauci$b Julia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787135503321 996 $aArchitecture of oblivion$92430163 997 $aUNINA
