Abstract

Wooden architecture is regarded as a basis for Russian cultural identity. A short journey into the history of its preservation is made. The design and practical experiences of Irkutsk, Tomsk, Nyandoma and Tallinn are viewed as contemporary examples of preservation of wooden urban houses. The author considers starting demolition of the unique workers’ settlement Chagoda built from wood in the constructivist style to be one of the recent losses. The article points out the necessity of cardinal public reevaluation of national values and a traditional Russian wooden house.
