   Kitch comes!
   Here three weeks in capital there passes an unusual exhibition with
The unusual name "Against a breakage". Organizers -
The state research museum of architecture of a name
A.V.ShChuseva and the creative centre "New Youth" - have devoted it
To history and the reasons of Moscow architecturally-historical losses HH
Centuries since 1917 up to now. The exhibition is issued as
Tent small town, having entered in which, you turn lanes,
The areas, by photos and breadboard models of old buildings. Plays
Music, bells call, songs about Moscow sound. It calls all
Such nostalgia on olden time what to cry it would be desirable. Because,
Having finished travel, you understand, that examined Mirages. That
Moscow already is not present.
   Why is not present - the answer and the exhibition calling all gives is amicable
To act "against a breakage", still spoiling a city. The facts,
Which part we publish, speak for myself. But me
It would be desirable, using the right of the author to set aloud some more
Questions. They are addressed the today's authorities of capital taking on
Itself boldness to clean our life from olden time "dust".
   Whether you understand, what soul and a city face - different concepts? That
Shine of illumination, gingerbread raskraska buildings, frank kitch
"novorusskoj" the architecture licked "novodely" destroy
Authenticity of Moscow also vulgarise its face, as if blush of the cocotte?
The city from alterations under the West European standards does not become
Paris or Vienna. But it ceases to be and Russian. Leaves it
Soul.
   Why, it is asked, all town-planning plans are pounded
On pjatachke the capital centre? Why not to leave him alone and in
Historical inviolability as it becomes in all
Civilised cities of the world? Unless it is possible to take down Montmartre or
To straighten streets of the Prague Hailstones? Why at us each new
The generation of architectural vandals necessarily wishes to reconstruct,
Instead of to attach? After all Moscow on suburbs - is awful, its sleeping
Areas - an embodiment bezlikosti, serosti, barrack-type
unifitsirovannosti. There and there was no something significant in
Architectural sense. But is not present, to all it is necessary Manezhnaja the area,
Tver, Soljanka: razutjuzhit to block up, decorate,
To immortalise itself liked...
   Why for beauty of a city stands out not it uhozhennost, as
Besides in other world capitals, and a tinsel ukrashatelstva?
Authenticity demands leaving. If it is not present, appear a dirt,
Decay, decay. When go out virtual illjuminatsionnye Mirages
The Moscow streets, it is visible, as actually zapushchenny roads,
Sidewalks, court yard, entrances, roofs, stops. On this background
False "novodely" seem almost perfect palaces.
The original beauty of architectural masterpieces loses before
Aggression kitcha. Instead of Moscow-aristocrat more and more exposes
For show itself Moscow loose - a casino, hotels, night clubs,
Restaurants, salons, shopping centres.
   And last question: why and today splinters of the Moscow
Olden time continue to be destroyed? A symbol of the beginning of democratisation in
To capital there was once a struggle of defenders of chambers ShCherbakova in
To German large village from a pulling down. Then the public demanded
Public examination of all town-planning innovations - also were,
It is remembered, hot discussions both in a press, and on meetings. Then all
It has been forgotten. Now - it is trampled. And only here itozhashchaja a century an exhibition
Again has reminded us, that vandalism has only receded, but positions not
Hands over. Also that, to regret, it has found a shelter under a wing
The city power which has legalised new approach on
The distressful historical Moscow centre.
