The article examines the views on the creative legacy of the outstanding Siberian architect Leonid Alexandrovich Chernyshev, his place and role in the modern environment of the city and professional interference to the works of Krasnoyarsk architects, researchers of Chernyshev’s work. The article is being published on the eve of the 150th anniversary of the architect. It was decided that the year 2025 in Krasnoyarsk will be dedicated to architect L. A. Chernyshev.
