| Title of the article | Event-related restoration of Pskov as a way of comprehensive preservation of cultural heritage |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. By the first quarter of the 21st century, significant experience had been accumulated in the relatively unexplored field of heritage conservation, namely event-related restoration. The authors have identified about 40 cities where restorations have been conducted in connection with anniversary events, highlighting the scale of this phenomenon as a new direction in restoration across Russia (Suzdal, Veliky Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, Tula, Pskov etc.). The relevance of the research lies in the lack of a systematic analysis of the experience of event-related restoration in Russian cities. The purpose of the research is to identify the characteristic features of the architectural restoration practice using the example of Pskov on the eve of the 1100th anniversary in 2003. The objectives of the research are to analyze the overall concept of works which have been fulfilled to preserve architectural heritage, to identify the types of undertaken restoration work, and to assess the extent of implementation of the proposed activities for transforming the historical and architectural environment in the run-up to the anniversary. Results. A set of measures to prepare for the 1100th anniversary of Pskov has been identified: restoration of the Pskov Kremlin, restoration of cultural heritage sites in the historical part of the city, reconstruction and improvement of the urban environment. The following types of restoration work for the preservation of cultural heritage sites have been identified: conservation, restoration, restoration with adaptation, compensatory construction within the framework of adaptation. It has been established that the identified restoration measures are comprehensive in nature. Conclusions. The comprehensive event-related restoration of Pskov has become a tool for preserving unique ancient architectural monuments, which is consistent with the concept of sustainable urban development. |
