In From Ruins to Reconstruction, Karl D. Qualls tells the complex story of the city's rebuilding. Based on extensive research in archives in both Moscow and Sevastopol, architectural plans and drawings, interviews, and his own extensive experience in Sevastopol, Qualls tells a unique story in which the periphery "bests" the Stalinist center: the city's experience shows that local officials had considerable room to maneuver even during the peak years of Stalinist control.Qualls first paints a vivid portrait of the ruined city and the sufferings of its surviving inhabitants. He then turns to Moscow's plans to remake the ancient city on the heroic socialist model prized by Stalin and visited upon most other postwar Soviet cities and towns. In Sevastopol, however, the architects and city planners sent out from the center "went native," deviating from Moscow's blueprints to collaborate with local officials and residents, who seized control of the planning process and rebuilt the city in a manner that celebrated its distinctive historical identity. When completed, postwar Sevastopol resembled a nineteenth-century Russian city, with tree-lined boulevards; wide walkways; and buildings, street names, and memorials to its heroism in wars both long past and recent. Though visually Russian (and still containing a majority Russian-speaking population), Sevastopol was in 1954 joined to Ukraine, which in 1991 became an independent state. In his concluding chapter, Qualls explores how the "Russianness" of the city and the presence of the Russian fleet affect relations between Ukraine, Russia, and the West.Open Access release of the Ukrainian translation is possible due to the financial support of Dickinson College, United States.UAi7;k7;k4;k2;l9;m0;l6;l7;l6;l3;n0;, l8;l6;k9;m0;k2;m6;l6;k4;k2;l5;l0;l1; l5;k2; m0;k7;l8;l0;m0;l6;l8;o0;o1; l9;m1;m5;k2;l9;l5;l6;o1; i9;l2;l8;k2;o1;l5;l0;, l6;k6;l5;k2;l2; k4;l9;k7; m7;k7; l9;l7;l6;k4;l5;k7;l5;l0;l1; k3;k2;k9; l8;l6;l9;o0;l1;l9;n0;l2;l6;k5;l6; j3;l6;l8;l5;l6;l4;l6;l8;l9;n0;l2;l6;k5;l6; m2;l3;l6;m0; o0; k6;l6;l9;o0; m6;k2;l5;l6;k4;k2;l5;l0;l1; l8;l6;l9;o0;n3;l5;k2;l4;l0; k9;k2; l1;l6;k5;l6; l8;l6;l3;n0; m1; i0;l8;l0;l4;l9;n0;l2;o0;l1; k4;o0;l1;l5;o0;, k3;m1;k4; l7;l6;k4;l5;o0;l9;m0;n2; k9;l8;m1;&

Abstract

The creation of Soviet culture in the 1920s and the 1930s was the most radical of modernist projects, both in aesthetic and in political terms. "Modernism and the Making of the New Man" explores the architecture of this period as the nexus between aesthetics and politics. The design of the material environment, according to the author, was the social effort that most clearly articulated the dynamic of the socialist project as a negotiation between utopia and reality, the will for progress and the will for tyranny. It was a comprehensive effort that brought together professional architects and statisticians, theatre directors, managers, housewives, pilots, construction workers. What they had in common was the enthusiasm for defining the "new man", the ideal citizen of the radiant future, and the settings in which he or she lives.
