Much is known about Russian history, but little is said
about Russian architecture. The opportunity to create a web page is
the perfect opportunity to investigate and present Russian architecture
as an experience rather than a monotonous presentation. The idea of
this project is to educate others about the magnificent lengths Russian
architects went to in order to erect these extremely decorative and
elaborate structures. Russian tradition has formed and thrived with
these structures. Throughout the centuries different rulers have dictated
Russia, and therefore brought in their own views of architecture into
the cultural aspect of the country. The creation of this web page will
allow not only scholars, but also educators to interpret their own understanding
of Russian history. The facts presented on this web page celebrate Russian
nationalism and pride. Architecture has been Russia’s gold, and
it is time that it be presented through a students perspective.
As with other developed societies, Russia's history has strongly evolved
through the connections between relegion and political rule. The distinct
history of Russia whether it be during czarist reign or Communist rule
has produced an architectural style that has developed alongside the
ruling power at the particular time throughout her history. Early
Russian Architecture began to evolve with the ideas of many cultures
combined. Russia’s complicated history has affected its architectural
background.
Russian architects have erected thousands of projects for the many
different rulers that ruled the nation throughout the centuries. The
architects that have designed and built these infamous structures are
artists that dedicated their entire lives to building great monuments
that would be looked upon as Russia’s most important assets. My
goal is to show people the true beauty of Russia. This will enable people
to look past Russia’s past and see the future. I created this
web page as an interactive way for not only myself to learn, but others
to enjoy. The idea behind this project is to fascinate people into learning
more about this wonderful and enchanting nation, full of splendor and
beauty.
