heritage without alternatives

Abstract

There are subjects for which there should be no alternatives. It is not a question whether it is necessary to protect and study cultural and historical heritage. There should not be any alternatives.
We continue to publish materials on the heritage of different periods of history and different parts of the world. The Russian-Chinese theme is consistently studied in the works of Pacific University scholars.
Even when careless officials remove cultural monuments from the lists, the public and the professional community speak up. This time, an entire historic quarter in Irkutsk is under threat. Students and professionals stood up to defend two old stone buildings. They backed up their position with the development of the ensemble and the creation of a new system of public spaces inlaid in the historic centre of the city.
