This collection of thirteen vignettes addresses several important
episodes in the history of Russian temporary architecture and
public art, from the royal festivals during the times of Peter the
Great up to the recent venues including the Sochi Winter Olympics.
The forms and the circumstances of their design were drastically
different; however, the projects discussed in the book share a
common feature: they have been instrumental in the construction of
Russia's national identity, with its perception of the West -
simultaneously, a foe and a paragon - looming high over this
process. The book offers a history of multidirectional
relationships between diplomacy, propaganda, and architecture.
