It focuses on the study of the sources of its formation. Specially, for this research created category of «tradition». At the same time shows using of this framework in architectural science (A.V.

In the three hundred year history of classicism in Russia, XVIII-XX centuries were identified three stages of actualization of this phenomenon – the «enlightened» Classicism (1760-1820's.), Neoclassicism – Empire (1910's.) and Soviet neoclassicism (1930-1950's). They analyzed in the frame work of «tradition/innovation» for continuity and renewal of tradition. The analysis in this regard was conducted on two levels: classicism considered as an architectural style (change in the principles of architecture) and classicism as a cultural-historical paradigm, distinguished general cultural principles that have influenced architecture. In the end, concluded that the Soviet neoclassicism is the organic development of the Russian classical tradition in architecture in a qualitatively new conditions. |
