Abstract

The article describes four stories about the upcoming or initiated demolition of buildings in Yekaterinburg. The article analyzes how fear and collective memory are connected, the reasons why buildings with a high level of physical deterioration can be protected by public organizations, while the owners are ready to leave them painlessly, and how the value of architectural heritage is formed in the eyes of citizens. Based on the described cases, a classification of fears has been compiled in relation to the demolition of buildings.
