Hello, friends. Among you, probably no one already remembers or even knows about the famous ten Stalinist blows that decided the outcome of the Second World War.
Already in the years of my childhood, for example, they were already singing the song "Small Earth - Great Earth" with might and main, and very little was said about these hits. Now they don't even talk about Malaya Zemlya at all. Each new ruler brings something of his own to the theme of the war, and this process goes with an enviable cyclical nature, and will probably last as long as those who still remember the post-war period are alive. It is possible that when there is no one left of this generation, the official version will be taken as the unjust destruction of the Wehrmacht troops when the limits of the necessary defense by the Red Army are exceeded (in this country nothing can be surprising). What is it all about? Actually, a lot of readers are asking, and quite rightly, the same question in different variations - if I write so neatly about world architecture with elements of supernatural technical devices,then why do I pay so little attention to Russian architecture? It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally, and not at all because there is nothing to say. But since we started talking about Stalin, then we can definitely say that the architecture of the Stalinist era in the history of Russian urban planning stands apart. Even a person who is far from architecture can confirm this. The stylistics of Stalinist architecture has its own individuality, which cannot be confused with anything else. But at the same time, this style was not an invention of the architects of the Stalin era, but was taken from the past. Is it coincidental? Moreover, this fact ran counter to the logic of one of the general paradigms of that time, namely, “we will destroy the whole world of violence, to the core, and then …” and so on. The Soviet government officially announced that it would completely abandon everything that came before it. Probably, in this case, in order not to get completely confused in the twists and turns of history, it is necessary to present some vision of the author (me, that is) in relation to those past times, which are mentioned above. Well, in relation to architecture as well.
17 ?? - 1780s. Great Tartary is living out its last years in the form in which it existed for several hundred (or maybe thousands) years. Its northwestern territories, located on the lands of central and western Europe, have already been conquered and will never again fall under the influence of Great Tartary. At the same time, these lands begin to develop rapidly due to the colonization of overseas territories. The ruling elite of one of these lands, located on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, aims to colonize the territory of Great Tartary, which it has achieved with varying success over this period. The name of this ruling elite is the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp, they are also "Romanovs" (hereinafter we will designate their strength as G). They are located in an abandoned ancient city on the territory of modern St. Petersburg. During this time, in a number of military campaigns,they subjugated a number of territories in the Volga and Black Sea regions. At the same time, the main territory of the first western province of Great Tartary, Muscovy, did not submit to the G force, as did all the lands to the east of Muscovy. For Great Tartary, this period of time is called the end of the "golden age", which, thanks to the work of historical falsifiers, is attributed to the representative of the G force of that time - Catherine the Great. The "Golden Age" was called such because at that time everything was somewhat different than it is now. The climate was milder, in the territories near the North Sea (now the Arctic Ocean) exotic fruits grew and the same animals roamed, and humanity was also somewhat different. At that time, people carried the secrets of ancient architecture through the centuries and used it with might and main. The temples of that time replaced the means of communication for people,hospitals, educational institutions and facilities for satisfying the spiritual needs of all kinds, and in some cases also water and electricity systems, workshops for the production of building materials and even crematoria (rudiments of these devices called "cancer" still exist). There were even autonomous complexes for the concentration of all this, called monasteries. Many people went into them and stopped communicating with the outside world, which in general was no longer necessary. Naturally, all this did not look like it is now. First of all, the consciousness of people was influenced by the very technical means that were embodied in architecture at that time. There were many architectural styles in Great Tartary at that time, but all buildings and structures were made for only one purpose - the manifestation of those very magical properties, the benefit of technology,those that existed at that time made it easy enough. All other characteristics of the objects were deeply secondary. To put it simply, the external looks of buildings in the Empire style or somehow else did not look like this due to the fact that it was once customary in the old days, but due to the fact that only in this way, with such a set of architectural details, they began exhibit magical properties, or, in the language of physics, work as a volume resonator. Musical instruments look approximately the same - there are a great many forms of them, these forms can be attributed to some nationalities, they may not be attributed, but the purpose of all instruments is the same - the production of acoustic vibrations that affect the human brain. If we imagine that buildings could also generate some vibrations, but not acoustic ones, everything becomes clear. At that time, there was no ideological content for this process. The people enjoyed all these benefits without being tied to any messiahs and prophets, and completely free. Naturally, on the part of the G force, natural actions arose to saddle this process and turn it into a commercial enterprise, it would be foolish not to take advantage of this. On the lands seized by the administrations of the G force, all temple complexes are transferred to a special service under the central government, this process is designated in history as "the joining of the church to the state." This process is proceeding with great difficulty and is met with strong opposition on the ground.on the part of the G force, natural actions arose to saddle this process and turn it into a commercial enterprise, it would be foolish not to take advantage of this.

This process is proceeding with great difficulty and is met with strong opposition on the ground.
Simultaneously with the G force, another force develops in the world, also originating from Europe. This force concentrates the colonial wealth in its hands, and thanks to them it manipulates the owners of the colonies, somewhere pitting them against each other in local wars, somewhere with the usual bribery. We will call it further in the text the force N. At that time, the force N had enough colonial resources for development on various continents, but this does not mean that it did not have goals to colonize the lands of Great Tartary. It just happened on a situational basis, and the available forces were only enough to re-colonize the Spanish possessions.
1780-1810 years. The beginning of the first serious collisions between the G force, the N force and Great Tartary, and scattered with each other and in different geographical places. In Russian history, a number of these battles remained imprinted as the uprising of Yemelyan Pugachev, the cleansing of Circassia, and several Russian-Turkish wars on land and at sea. All these battles were nothing more than the battles of the regular troops of the G force with the forces of Great Tartary. At the same time, military clashes between the forces of force N and the troops of Great Tartary in the Middle East, African and North American continents take place. This happens sporadically, with varying success, and is recorded in history as a common colonial conquest. In hostilities, weapons are used from all sides, using the same principles that are used in architecture to create its magical properties. Those same gunswhich, in the film adaptations of that era, fired cannonballs thanks to gunpowder, used completely different principles and were served by people in metal armor with swords. Everything was controlled by an electric field, which they knew how to receive not only in architecture, but also in the field, and in particular on ships. The inept use of this weapon led to the fact that at the end of this chronological period a powerful ecological catastrophe occurred.that at the end of this chronological period there was a powerful ecological catastrophe.that at the end of this chronological period there was a powerful ecological catastrophe.
1810-1816 years. An ecological catastrophe and subsequent climate change on the planet radically change the current situation in the balance of power. A breakthrough occurs in the place of modern Gibraltar and the Dardanelles, and the Mediterranean basin becomes connected with the world's oceans, flooding many cities in the process. The waters of the North Sea overflowed their shores and washed away from north to south everything that came their way, right down to the latitudes of modern Iran. The lands of Great Tartary were practically depopulated. However, other lands of the northern hemisphere got no less. The ancient temple complexes, consisting of fortified stars and the temples standing in them, collapsed and no longer worked as a single system. A huge mudflow filled up all the buildings available at that time to various heights from 1 to 6 m, the soil was carried away by a wave from the northern territories,where the ground was bare to the rocks. The territory of modern Central Asia and Mongolia has turned from a flowering garden into a desert, filled with the same stream, and leveled so that the mountain peaks protrude from a perfectly planned sandy surface. The backward wave of the mudflow covered the African continent, and the territory of modern Sahara turned from a flourishing densely populated land into a desert. The climate with minor changes has turned into what it is now. Among the people there are "safe" people who, expecting that everything will return, do not build ovens and are freezing. In addition, all the nobility, due to incomprehensible hair loss, introduces wigs into circulation, and for the first time a hitherto known disease - cancer appears. Nature does make several attempts to return the climate to its previous positions, but apart from dust storms with rocks,flying from heaven, in general nothing happens. The science of "meteorology" is developing, predicting the appearance of these flying stones, but in fact it was a highlighted short section from the unified Science that existed once before.
The G force, as well as the N force, having recovered from the blow of the elements, teamed up and decided to clean up the lands of Great Tartary, starting from the west. For these purposes, they went on a well-known military campaign, and it was headed by the now well-known, and then just one of the commanders of force N, Mr. MI Kutuzov. All the forces for the offensive were recruited from the remnants of different peoples who survived after the ecological catastrophe, because of this the army was called "a double tongue." Moscow was taken and burned, and, according to the chroniclers, the defenders used the same weapon again. Because of this, Moscow completely burned out in a few days, and the soldiers of the attacking forces began to suffer from radiation sickness. An abnormally low cold, previously unknown, came, which nullified the entire potential of the advancing forces. For some unknown reason,at the military council in Fili, Mr. Kutuzov makes the fateful decision to go over to the side of the G force and attack his former allies, which he does. After their defeat, all the lands of Great Tartary, except for Central Asian, come under the direct control and jurisdiction of the G force, which creates the Russian Empire. There was no need to conquer Siberian lands, since because of the past element, there was no one to fight there. Despite the tangible victory, Kutuzov is treated as a traitor, and his exploits are “canonized” only a century later.because of the past element, there was no one to fight there.

At the same time, the N force conquers the former lands of Great Tartary, still suitable for use, in Africa and North America, and also partially in Asia.

Due to the large amount of destruction, architecture around the world is turning into the usual structures that we see now. There is no new significant construction in the whole world.
1816-1855 years. The ruling elite of the G and N forces, realizing that volumetric resonators from buildings and structures can directly threaten their safety, decided to destroy them in principle. For these purposes, the Holy Inquisition was introduced on the lands controlled by the N force, and the church reform was introduced on the lands controlled by the G force. The goal of both was the destruction of specialists who possess technical secrets, as well as all sources where this was recorded. On the lands of the Russian Empire, under the guise of church reform, artifacts using technical secrets were destroyed in all churches, and their absence was completely replaced by an ideological component (of various types and from different confessions). This process was quite difficult, and it was not possible to fully implement it. Some temples, as a result of secret or explicit opposition to government policy, continued to ooze oil and goodness. The houses of the country's wealthy residents, as a rule, built in “antediluvian” times, were also restored according to their “antediluvian” properties, but this process was not massive. Many houses, covered with soil to the level of the top of the first floors, were no longer dug out, but were built up with log cabins. Due to the loss of mass production of bricks due to the technology of dehydration of clay by an electric field, as well as due to mudflows of clay deposits, brick in many cases has become difficult to access. Similar difficulties arose with the production of iron, which was necessary for the metal frames of buildings. Due to the significant deterioration in the quality of arable land caused by mudflow,the G force administration was forced to introduce serfdom. Despite all this, the revival of "antediluvian" technologies continued to gain strength in almost all industries.
Militarily, force N in the fight against force G decided to change tactics, namely, for the first time in history, it used "soft power" in this territory. This force began with "confusion" (the uprising of the Decembrists) and ended with the nourishment and cultivation of various terrorist organizations aimed primarily "against the tsar." No significant successes have been achieved in this direction.
1855-1875 years. This era is mainly determined by the hot phases of the wars between forces G and N. The hostilities began with the Crimean War, and, despite a number of tactical victories of the G force (for example, in Kamchatka), it ultimately suffers a defeat. Over time, regrouping forces and rebalancing interests within each participant, the G force strikes back at the N force in the form of the Franco-Prussian War. Many wars are fought on other continents. Realizing that a military solution to the issue is counterproductive, the parties decide to end hostilities. At the same time, no one removed soft power from relations, and it thrived on the territory of the G force in the form of manifestations of various thinkers and revolutionaries.
Since all military operations for the most part were carried out in the territory of the G force (and this included, among other things, Prussia and Germany), then during this time all the efforts of the state went to the maintenance of wars and the elimination of their consequences. The cities were empty, the population was significantly reduced, the industry was recovering very little. At the same time, the power of N began to concentrate the world's financial capital in its hands. For the successful functioning of the world banking system, means of communication between continents were needed, operating in real time. In this case, submarine cables were used as a technical solution, experimenting with which has shown the success of this direction. To create enough cable that can circumnavigate the globe and still be reserved,cheap energy resources and a developed industry were needed, and the war in this case was very inappropriate. Actually, in this regard, all serious military actions were suspended. World history is reduced to the form in which we see it now. At the same time, some events are not specified in it at all, some events are shifted along the world chronological scale in the right direction. A number of historical events were simply fictional. A number of historical events were simply fictional. A number of historical events were simply fictional.
1875-1914 years. The rapid development of industrial production on all continents, where the forces of G and N are present at least in some way. The gold rush taking place on the newly occupied lands does not at all interfere with the gigantic growth of other industries. The production of natural rubber used in cable insulation exceeds gold mining in terms of profitability. To create cheap and affordable energy carriers, the world forces are forced to revive power plants that were destroyed earlier less than 100 years ago. Industrial metallurgy and the production of geopolymer concrete are being restored. With their help, not only industry is rapidly developing, but also all other spheres of human life - architecture, transport, healthcare, agriculture, art and the entertainment industry. A lot of discoveries are made in science,patent law begins to develop. Despite this, the scientific world in the territories of the G and N forces steals discoveries from each other and passes them off as their own. It was at that time that such devices were invented, which are still a curiosity - fuel-free steam boilers, wireless electric vehicles. Among other things, radio communication is also being opened (or restored from a not quite forgotten old one), but it does not receive widespread use - there is no need for it, and it cannot work in the conditions of existing free power plants due to physical incompatibility. They temporarily turn a blind eye to the existence of free power plants. They are captured by various photographers, they are exhibited at exhibitions, they are introduced almost everywhere. But at the same time, realizing that in this area of activity you can have a huge profit,world forces are simultaneously developing facilities for generating electricity and the gas industry. These installations are also being introduced, and almost free of charge, in all areas of human activity. Upon completion of the construction of the world communications network from underwater cables, the systems of free power plants begin to be destroyed everywhere, and in various ways. The supply of raw materials for their work is stopped, knowledge in their field is declared pseudoscience, all archives are cleaned out where there could be at least some mention of their existence. This happens relatively painlessly, since electric generators and gas installations are already ready and functioning with might and main, no collapses occur. The hostage of this destruction was the technologies of geopolymer concrete and fireless brick production, which use the same principles,which were used in free power plants. These technologies also had to be “forgotten”.
This is a map of the submarine cable communications existing in 1920. It is very indicative, if only by the fact that the cables connecting the UK with Denmark and St. Petersburg are highlighted in a special color, and the cables connect Vladivostok, Port Arthur, Hawaii, Oregon, Alaska and a number of other Pacific objects with the same color. British cables, oddly enough, cover all the world's colonies, even non-English speaking ones. Actually, here they are, the zones of influence of the forces of G and N for that period, they are geographically identified more than clearly.
On the territory of the G forces (the Russian Empire), industry is also developing, and at the rate of development even outstripping the territories of the N force. At the same time, the revival of churches in the form in which they were a hundred years ago does not occur, since the ruling elite does not need it at all … Development went on, as in the whole world, only to make a profit for a narrow group of industrialists and for this narrow group. And the struggle between the forces of G and N, which had subsided for a while, began to resume again. On the external arena, the Russo-Japanese war is taking place, and on the internal arena a "dress rehearsal of the great revolution", organized by a slightly stronger (or insolent) soft power. The elite of the G force is entering a deep crisis every year, despite individual steps taken by it to strengthen its power. There were a number of reasons for this, which many probably remember,they were hammered into the lessons of Soviet history to all generations, and probably this was one of the rare cases when historians did not lie.
The world economy is starting to "get on the oil needle", and then this process is going on irreversibly up to the present time.
1914-1924 years. The first success of the N force in the fight against the G force - it managed to split the ranks of the ruling elites and forced one part of the country to fight with another, causing the Second Patriotic (First World) War. At the same time, the force N remained on the sidelines, and balancing, extracting the maximum benefit from the events taking place. The war dragged on for several years, causing a systemic crisis of power. In February 1917, the patriots tried to restore power, but this was not part of the goals and objectives of the force N. In October of the same year, the force N grouped its representatives in the person of all well-known characters who took power almost without difficulty and spent some more time, in order to extend it to the entire territory of the former empire, excluding those territories that de facto withdrew during the Second Patriotic War. The G-Force as such was physically destroyed. Power N had the full opportunity to turn out all the ins and outs about the power of G and show the whole world where and how she came to the throne, and what the "prison of nations" is, but this was not done (you never know, and they were not too different from each other friend). The territory of a huge country is actually mired in war. History was rewritten, the western part of the Russian Empire was presented in such a light that now no one would even think, incl. and the population of the very lands that such a thing could be. The general doctrine, which was developed by the N force for the eastern conquered lands, is to make them the same ordinary third world country and a raw materials appendage, for which purpose it is divided into small territories along ethnic lines. At the same time, the external design of this goal was quite unusual for that time - the restoration of justice and peace throughout the world. As you can see, the creators of force N who sat on this "case" were (and still are) very original (for example, in South Africa, the same actions were always called by their proper names). The project worked almost flawlessly for several years and went in line with the given doctrine, and then something went wrong.
1924-1953 years. After the death of the main ideologist of the N force representation on the territory of the former Russian Empire V. I. Ulyanov-Lenin, discord begins in the ranks of his successors. Having taken power into his own hands, J. V. Stalin slowly and surely begins to destroy his comrades-in-arms and, as a result, proclaims the goal of the development of the new state to industrialize on an unprecedented scale. This clearly contradicts the doctrine of the development of these territories from the strength of N. Despite this, the manifestations of the first 10 years of this period seem to be in the mainstream - executions, hunger, total robbery and other manifestations of what was planned. Under the guise of a struggle against religion, not only temples are destroyed, which by that time did not have magical properties. All objects are totally destroyed or damaged,who could previously use the technology for obtaining free energy resources - domes on residential and public buildings, city water pipes, inherited industrial buildings, etc. In history, this period of time is described quite well. At the same time, a grandiose industrial upsurge begins, and in almost all sectors. Stalin destroys everyone who secretly or openly obstructs the implementation of this policy, regardless of rank and merit. In addition, he clearly positions himself as a strong leader who does not depend on any indicators from the rest of the world. Naturally, such a development of events was not included in the plans of force N. Nevertheless, every year Stalin distances himself more and more from the general doctrine of the N force, creating his own force, hereinafter referred to as the N 'force (denoted as in mathematics). One of the personalities of the N 'force is its urban policy and architecture.
Naturally, the N force was not going to put up with such a development of events, and competently attempted a military solution to the problem, and not by its direct participation, but by raising another odious leader in the former western lands of the Russian Empire (Great Tartary). As it was already worked out earlier, the N force simply conducted observation and provided targeted assistance, and in the end, in the end, it joined as an ally to the clear winner. We must pay tribute, the power of N 'passed this test, and thanks to this, it significantly expanded its geographical presence in the world. It became clear that a military solution to the issue with the force of N 'was futile. In addition, the birth of nuclear weapons greatly sobered the heads of all the rulers of the opposing sides. Who stole the technical idea of this weapon and from whom is a very controversial issue. Force N changes tactics again, despite the factthat N 'force now has one of the strongest intelligence services in the world and is able to fight any internal threat. Thanks to high internal self-discipline, the administration of the N 'force quickly rebuilt not only their own country, but also the countries of the newly found allied vassals. The situation for the N force began to look critical - the N 'force began work to acquire allied political regimes in countries on all continents. The Korean War, which began thanks to this in 1950, was formally a war between the socialist north and the capitalist south, but in fact it was a war between the N and N 'forces, it was just localized in one place. The hot phase of this war has reached a dead end. But this war was going on not only in the hot phase (and in this phase, the disguised soldiers of other countries were already fighting there). War in the form of soft power also continuedand was crowned with the victory of the force N, which is practically not mentioned in history. Stalin was poisoned, his inner circle was suddenly shot by agents of the N force, and the general doctrine was again put into effect on the territory of the N forces. But it was dangerous to roll the situation back to the 20s - there were many experienced fighters who went through the war, inspired by Stalin, in the country. Any too abrupt backward movement could cause an unpredictable outcome, and one had to act very selectively (you never know what). It is noteworthy that one of the first steps of the new administration was Resolution No. 1871 of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR "On the elimination of excesses in design and construction" - but we will return to this separately.and in the territory of the N 'forces the general doctrine was re-enacted.

1953-1991. The giant flywheel of the growth and industrialization of the USSR, launched by the force of N ', continues to move, but rather more by inertia, giving more and more failures every year. Actually, there was no task to increase the speed of this flywheel as such. A number of allied states, such as Yugoslavia and China, directly understand that a coup has taken place and distance themselves from the USSR. Some intermediate successes, of course, occur, but rather thanks to than in spite of the period before 1953. Power N prepares territories for a new (more precisely, a slightly forgotten old) plan, which it successfully implements at the end of this chronological period, and almost without much difficulty.
1991 - present Power N is successfully rebranding its doctrine on the territory of the former USSR, getting rid of the ideas of equality and brotherhood as outdated. The first stage of the fragmentation of territories is proceeding quite successfully. Some former vassals or allies are driven back into the bosom of imperialism, some are set off on a free voyage as unnecessary, some are even subjected to forcible partition. Resources are being pumped out safely, followed by dollars paid for these resources. The economy and finance are safely integrated into the world, and in the same capacity as planned. To prevent the boiler from bursting, some residues are distributed in such a way that everything is kept afloat - this suits everyone. Ancient architecture and temples are considered as museum exhibits (as well as throughout the world),and no one even suggests that it was even a hundred years ago. Spirituality, of course, is developing (or reviving), but rather as a tribute to tradition. The economy is strongly tied to oil and gas, which is why wars, big and small, occur regularly.
You can go on and on, but this information is now available to everyone thanks to the abundance of various media. In this regard, we will probably finish. It is possible, of course, to supplement this whole retelling with other interesting details, but this set of sentences is quite enough for us to continue the topic begun. All of the above is more like an evening fairy tale, so take it all as a joke with a grain of joke.
Well, now let's move on from the general to the particular, more precisely to the period from 1924 to 1953. Even, more precisely, by the second part of this period - many of you have already seen old film and photographic documents on the destruction of that Russia, and they are unlikely to be interesting now. Well, let's clarify a little.
Surely, reading above, many of you wondered - what is this power N? Surely it has some kind of identifier by which it can be recognized or even identified geographically. Judging by the fact that it exists much more than a reasonable human age, then more than one generation of people probably determines it (we will leave supernatural forces behind the scenes). Now, apart from the slippery definition of "world capitalism", nothing is used anywhere, even probably in history lessons (I can't say, I don't know). And what happened in the same chronological period before 1953? Since Stalin opposed himself to the rest of the world, then probably at least things were called by their proper names there. Well, here, now, it's probably time to delve into that very famous Stalinist architecture.
So, Stalinist architecture, or an architectural style, in many respects close to the Empire, eclecticism and Art Deco. Why does he suddenly begin to appear under a regime that has officially abandoned everything that was in the bourgeois past? Especially if this past is somehow connected with the king-rulers, the bourgeoisie, exploitation or religious raid. Looks strange to say the least. The book “New Moscow. Squares and highways. ", Romanovsky IS, M., ed. "Moscow worker", 1938 (freely available on many resources). There is no point in not trusting the chronology of this publication; in fact, this is more propaganda material than an engineering work on the technology of new urban planning. If you squeeze out all the unnecessary water from this labor, then some interesting things are revealed.
This is quite understandable, the inertia of thinking of the newly baked builders of socialism makes itself felt. The management wants to see its inimitable architectural style, but does not yet know what it will look like.
But this is already interesting. To attract ideologically alien foreign specialists to competitions, especially from a nation that at that time had not quite simple relations with the Russians? There were no cutting schemes with the participation of foreign companies at that time. Then what is it? Everything is explained quite logically if we imagine that at that period between the forces N and N '(see above) there were some laws of communicating vessels. Obviously, some leading impulses from the metropolis have not yet been completely ignored by the force of N '.
And this is a house, which at the time of publication of the book (1938) had already been built. Something is not associated with it at all with the Stalinist architecture that we all imagine. More like a slightly complicated typical construction of a residential building that was introduced after 1953. Maybe this is an isolated case?
Can you imagine that now the top leaders of the state are gathering meetings to discuss a "sketch" of some Moscow City? Hardly. Or maybe it was not only discussed there?
Clever decision of the Leader. Despite the paradigm of the destruction of the entire world of violence to the core, they apparently decided to leave something. Thanks to this, we can probably still observe a part of that Moscow that was before 1917.
And again the house, which by no means resembles the Stalinist masterpieces of Moscow in the settled popular consciousness. And quite a lot of such houses were built in 1938, their photos can be seen both in this book and in other sources. Moreover, such houses were built not only in Moscow, but throughout the USSR. By and large, these houses were built in a completely ascetic style at that time, with rational use of building materials.
And nevertheless, in the same book, projects of newly planned buildings are indicated:
