Abstract

The article reflects the intermediate results of the study conducted by the author within the framework of the grant of the Russian Science Foundation “Methods of integration of historical development zones and preservation of cultural heritage sites in the context of development of modern cities in northeastern China”. The article reveals the main aspects of the influence of the Russian engineering school on the formation of the architectural landscape of Shenyang at different stages of the city’s development. It also considers the preserved and lost objects of Russian historical and cultural heritage, as well as the participation of Soviet engineers in the process of formation of the aircraft manufacturing industry in the city. The author systematizes information on the nature and results of the professional activity of Russian émigré engineers who worked in the city in the first half of the 20th century.
