minsk 50s. it was changing rapidly; in those years it was also called the fastest-growing city in the soviet union. entire districts with residential buildings and new streets grew up around the center. almost wiped off

the face of the earth during the war, minsk began to live the full life of the capital, with its problems, perestroika, no, not the one that happened in the eighties, perestroika was then announced by nikita sergeevich khrushchev, in construction and architecture. at the beginning of january 1958, in

veskuli in belovezhskaya pushcha, they were waiting for the first secretary of the cpsu central committee, nikita. the belarusian leadership had to report on the fulfillment of its instructions given a year earlier in 1957, then he was there and did not know that such a beloev pushcha existed, when khrushchev was in yugoslavia, joseph brostita

began asking him about the beloskaya pushcha, she was once famous, the prince, he returned, gathered people and said, we need to resume this whole thing, immediately in 57 they began building this residence, a dacha, and finished it in the year. the main building, and then three more cottages were built, however, at first the construction of cottages was not planned, the best forces were thrown into the construction of the facility, they built at an accelerated pace, and viskuli was chosen as the location. poland is located in the watershed between the baltic and black seas. viskuli, a pure pine forest, surrounded by berry fields, pine, oak, spruce, such a growth as is not now

it was deciduous, it was all blown through , there was no kamar there in principle, well , there was a good pine forest, there was plenty of wild boar, the food supply was excellent, on january 5 , 1958, khrushchev was greeted with belarusian hospitality and at a high place. the mood was also good, but unexpectedly for everyone a serious scandal broke out. khrushchev, when he saw the two-story building, attacked the management and the builders with reproaches. i have such palaces in moscow, i need wooden, hunting ones.

well, stained glass windows, stained glass windows, of course, have been preserved here, parquet flooring is also from that time, the parquet remains the special pride of the residence today, the use of our natural materials, oak, ash, pine, that is , an immediately beautiful design, simple, original, but our pušća materials are visculi interesting for me from the point of view of combining the forest and landscape.

the beginning of the decline of the time of creating unique, expressive and inimitable buildings in their architectural design was marked by destruction. meeting that took place in the kremlin on december 7, 1954. it was there that nikita sergeevich pronounced his historical we are talking about architectural excesses and restructuring in construction. in the mid -fifties, the era of pompous

buildings and solemnity in their appearance, the era of neoclassicism, ended. it really turned out to be a city of such a unique architectural hollywood, we would even be hard-pressed to find another such ensemble in the world architecture of the fifties and forties and fifties, which would so fully implement the principles of neoclassical arttech. then architects were accused of all mortal sins, wastefulness, excess in finishing of buildings. khrushchev openly called them “a stumbling block on the path of industrialization of construction, the course of which was removed in the ussr.

at the beginning of 1955, at the belgosproekt institute there was a discussion of the resolution of the central committee of the party on the elimination of excesses in design and construction. it was difficult to call it stormy. the report was taken as a basis. mardvinov, president of the academy of architecture of the ussr. many were confused and bewildered. just recently, at a meeting in the kremlin, he tried to oppose khrushchev, who publicly pulled him back. everyone saw that the chief architect country did not agree with the construction of faceless buildings, but now mardvinov repented, admitted the mistakes of the architects, and he himself accused them of excess and wastefulness. those present voted unanimously to approve the provisions of the resolution. the meeting was left

in deep silence. in belarus, we did not risk getting carried away with excesses, but we are in no hurry to switch to the construction of faceless buildings or abandon the neoclassical style set by the main avenue of the capital. it is so significant, we see it after all.

a sufficient number appears in minsk buildings of the so-called transitional period, at the same time no less interesting, original, preserving for us the features of architectural trends of the fifties and seventies. more such transitional works are, of course, the telegraph of abram dukhan. a fairly flat solution for the façade, although with such very elegantly designed planes, the absence of pronounced

orter plasticity, and finally there is a remarkable ability to build a large volume using modernist means, or new buildings on the main avenue of the capital that tried fit into the general outline, a new topic in post-war minsk is industrial production. the minsk watch factory, one of the facades is completely made of glass, stained glass, and this is also a new theme, and for the entire height of the building, this makes it possible to open production, that is, this is something that was not typical for the architecture of the fifties. in the early sixties in the country's cinemas, before the start of film demonstrations, they showed, as they would say today, an advertising video, he

talked about the advantages of new residential buildings and, of course, apartments. people immediately dubbed them khrushchevkas. this was to some extent progressive, it allowed people to be resettled. these buildings were never intended to last forever. they are considered as temporary objects, by the way, also a very modernist principle of the house designer. khrushchev buildings are not only a soviet invention. if we look at workers' houses, bruna tauts around berlin and other examples of left-wing architecture from the twenties and thirties, we see this type of very economical housing. in the fight against excesses were abandoned not only from architectural delights, but also from the previous sizes of apartments. now the living area of ​​a two-room apartment is on average 22 m2, a bedroom is 6 or 8 m2, a living room is 14 m2, the film especially advertised

kitchens, or rather their advantages, which were seen as only 4 square meters in size. previously, in order to cook borscht, the announcer said, the housewife had to run up to 50 m across the kitchen, and now to everything... the specificity of the situation in the soviet union was that this very economical housing became a state program, and indeed a huge country was built up by khrushchev, and indeed this led to a certain architectural monotony, uniformity. the industrial approach and new trends in architecture were reflected in public

buildings, cultural objects, hospitals, and sports facilities. belarusian architects faced very difficult tasks: to maintain a balance between styles and not turn the city into a faceless city with monotonous buildings. unique.

how has it survived to this day, not rebuilt, built in the sixties? years architect zaborsky and levin. it

is interesting because it contains monumental art, stained glass windows, mosaic panels, in general , every element there has a meaning. one of the interesting solutions was the sports palace of architects filimonov and malyshev, built in the sixties. the main thing in this sports palace was the creation of a huge, transforming internal space. this. was done precisely thanks to new technology, these are cable-stayed structures that made it possible to block this huge span, the use of very powerful elements and a concrete structure, like a support, well, this is an excellent engineering calculation, that is, such a huge building with a huge span for that time, for the seventies, this is a big breakthrough. decades later.

the building of the sports palace remains original today. without it, it is difficult to imagine a modern prospect of winners. but the desire for novelty did not always have a positive effect on the historical appearance of cities and the capital. the fashion for large-scale multifunctional objects sometimes ended sadly for the historical developments. in may 1962, at a meeting with the first secretary of the cpb central committee mazurov , the discussion of the project for a cinema and concert sports hall on the park highway was ending. according to the documents

, the palace was named under this name. in general, i liked it, it was original, large-scale, the decision to start its construction was agreed upon, it was a great success for the young architect sergei filimonov, he was only 25, and such trust, he unexpectedly asked to speak, turning to mazarov. can i tell you that everyone expected gratitude to the belarusian leadership for the services they provided? confidence. but filimonov spoke very emotionally about something completely different. a few words about the red church. the church, of course, is not an architectural monument, but since it survived the battles, it will definitely become one. it is beautiful in itself; the bricks for its construction were brought from poland itself. there is no need to demolish it, and the cinema can be found in another location. unfortunately, the course towards modernist

environmental regeneration had its consequences. an example of such modernist regeneration of the environment was, for example, nemiga. nemiga turned out to be a victim of the idea of ​​​​creating something like this comfortable modernist city. and we can say that it is.

life inside the building opens up to the outside, to passersby, these are unique objects, of course, they were among the world architecture.

the appearance of the belarusian capital of the sixties. this is the time of expressive objects of that time, we see it today, and this is the result of a mixture of styles. minsk at this time became an arena for the activities of outstanding architects. and...
