Committee for State Protection of Cultural Heritage. Cultural heritage sites: overview, register, laws

Objects cultural heritage- these are immovable objects that have cultural value for the population of Russia, and are also included in the world cultural heritage.

The concept of the objects under consideration

These objects have a special legal status. The category of objects under consideration includes:

• real estate with an integral part of painting;
• scientific and technical objects;
• objects of decorative and applied art;
• sculptures;
• other cultural objects that have value from the perspective of various sciences, technology and social culture, are monuments and serve as evidence of the original birth of culture and its subsequent development.

Objects of cultural heritage include: built-in real estate (memorial apartments), buildings located separately, as well as ensembles and complexes of various buildings, structures and other structures. Moreover, these objects may be completely preserved, or they may be partially destroyed or be an integral part of objects of a later period.

Legal framework of the objects under consideration

The laws on cultural heritage sites in force in our country include:

• Federal Law No. 73-FZ.
• The law of the RSFSR, adopted in 1978 in part that does not contradict modern legislative framework RF.
• Regulations of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the protection and use of historical and cultural monuments” of 1982 in the same part.
• Instruction No. 203 of the USSR Ministry of Culture of 1986, in the same part.

Signs of the objects in question

Cultural heritage sites Russian Federation must have the following characteristics:

1. Real estate. Thus, movable property a priori does not belong to the objects in question.
2. Historical and cultural value. If we take into account only the “real estate” attribute, then the objects under consideration can include all apartments, dachas, and garages that exist in the country. Therefore, the subject of interest to us includes objects that have a certain scientific and technical interest (value) for various sciences and social culture. This value is determined in the process of historical and cultural examination, which is carried out at the initiative of the state.
3. Age. In addition to memorial apartments and houses, which were recognized as objects in question as a result of the fact that outstanding personalities lived there, other monuments are included in the register of cultural heritage sites after at least 40 years have passed from the date of their creation or the occurrence of events of historical value.
4. Special status. This status is acquired in a certain order by inclusion in the state register and state list by decision of certain executive authorities.

Classification

All historical and cultural monuments under consideration are divided into places of interest, ensembles and monuments.

Ensembles are a group of cultural heritage objects that arose at the same time or complemented each other in the process historical development on one territory, as a result of their combination a single composition is formed.

Ensembles include monuments and structures located in areas that can be uniquely localized in territories that have developed historically, including those with religious purposes, as well as fragments of various settlements (buildings and layouts), which belong to urban planning ensembles; parks, boulevards, squares, gardens, as well as necropolises.

Places of interest include:

• creations that were created anthropogenically or with the participation of nature;

• centers of historical settlements;
• various places associated with the formation of ethnic groups on the territory of our country;
• ruins of the ancients settlements and parking;
• places where various kinds of rituals related to religion were performed;

Criticism

The Department of Cultural Heritage (formerly the Committee for Cultural Heritage) is constantly subject to criticism related to the loss and illegal deregistration of monuments (followed by destruction or "restoration", consisting of the destruction of the monument and subsequent "restoration" with modern technology, usually in concrete) under pressure from commercial structures. The department denies all allegations. Thus, in October 2010, during the construction of a hotel on Maly Kozikhinsky Lane in the center of Moscow, the cultural layer was damaged. The department denies that the layer was destroyed.

Immediately after taking office, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin fired the head of the Moscow Heritage Committee, Valery Shevchuk, and transformed the committee into a department. This was seen as a populist measure to remove an unpopular official associated with the Luzhkov regime.

In the central part of the East European Plain between the Oka and Volga there is the wonderful city of Moscow - the capital of our vast Motherland. This metropolis has a concentrated mass interesting places and cultural heritage sites. Moscow is visited annually by tens of thousands of tourists, many of whom come just for them. What kind of places are these?

History of Moscow

An interesting fact is that historians have not yet established exact date formation of the future capital. At one time, scientists suggested that the construction of Moscow dates back to the 9th century and that the city was founded by Prince Oleg, but there is no documentary evidence of this version.

Therefore, it is conventionally considered that the city was founded in XII century Yuri Dolgoruky (son of Vladimir Monomakh).

Built in 1147, Moscow (the city was first mentioned in ancient Russian chronicles) began its rapid development. The reason was the favorable geographical location of the united settlements, in which Finno-Ugric tribes lived first, and after some time representatives of the East Slavic tribal union (Vyatichi).

During the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the settlement received the status of a city and became the capital of the Russian state.

In 1682, Peter I became the Tsar of All Rus', and subsequently the Emperor of Russia, who legitimized the capital of the empire built in St. Petersburg.

Thus, from 1712 and for 206 years, Moscow was an ordinary city. And from 1918 to the present time - the capital.

origin of name

Before listing Moscow’s cultural heritage sites, it’s worth saying a few words about the origin of the city’s name. One of the assumptions is that the word comes from the language of the Finno-Ugric tribe: “mask” (bear), “ava” (mother). This opinion is based on the fact that in ancient times many bears lived in the area.

The most reliable theory is that the word "Moscow" comes from ancient language Komi peoples: “moska” (cow), “va” (river). This option is confirmed by the fact that natural conditions This area promoted the development of cattle breeding and, probably, a herd of cows always grazed on the banks of the river.

Megapolis in our time

Now Moscow is a world-famous metropolis with a population of more than 12 million people and covering an area of ​​2560 square meters. km.

Local residents are proud of their historical monuments: 566 monuments and 415 buildings related to the history of Russia.

In addition, the city has more than 60 museums, 105 theaters of various types and many other unique objects.

The oldest part of the city occupies 27 hectares and amazes with the beauty of its towers, cathedrals and palaces, which attract tourists from many countries around the world.

Monuments of history and culture

The leadership of the Russian Federation pays great attention to the cultural heritage sites of Moscow.

On June 30, 2012, the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev approved their list. It included objects of significant historical value.

The list was compiled with the participation of artists, historians, representatives of restoration services and the public. It consists of individual buildings, structures, palace and park ensembles, monasteries, temples, and is listed in all guidebooks for guests of the capital.

Popular among tourists are visits to the Moscow Kremlin ensemble, St. Basil's Cathedral, Novodevichy Convent, Arbat, Ostankino Tower, Tsaritsyno estate, Kuskovo.

Kremlin

This is not just the most famous landmark of the Russian capital, but an object of cultural heritage of Moscow and the oldest building that has survived to this day.

In the 12th century, on the banks of the Neglinnaya River, at the direction of Yuri Dolgorukov, the construction of a defensive structure began, which later became one of the emblems of the capital.

Around the Kremlin, built from logs, began to grow future city. The first wooden buildings, according to historical documents, became the Church of St. Nicholas, the Temple of Daniel the Stylite (Christian ascetic, saint in the ranks of the venerables).

All these structures have not survived due to repeated fires.

In 1326, Moscow Prince Ivan Kalita began to build a stone fortification. The first temple on its territory was the Assumption Cathedral.

The Kremlin has been rebuilt several times. Its territory expanded due to the construction of new structures. TO end of the XVI centuries, the complex takes on an almost modern appearance.

By the way, the Kremlin, like Red Square, is included in the list of UNESCO cultural heritage sites. There are three such significant places in Moscow - the Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye and the Ensemble of the Novodevichy Convent.

St. Basil's Cathedral

The main one is decorated with a building that attracts the attention of all tourists in the world - St. Basil's Cathedral. The beginning of construction dates back to 1555 by order of Ivan the Terrible.

At that time in Moscow there were many people canonized by the church.

Among the wandering hermits, the holy fool Vasily had special veneration, whom the royal nobility and Ivan the Terrible himself treated with respect.

Died in 1552. Six years later, a church was erected over his grave. It is believed that this building gave the name to the temple, built in honor of the victory over the Kazan Khanate.

The religious complex, which has survived to this day unchanged, is a temple structure of eight churches, symbolizing the eight days of the battle for Kazan.

Novodevichy Convent

Another building included in the register of cultural heritage sites in Moscow. This ensemble complex is located near Luzhniki (Sportivnaya metro station).

There is a legend that says that during the Mongol-Tatar enslavement of Rus', beautiful Russian girls were selected at this place for the Golden Horde. This belief explains the name of the current Orthodox women's monastery.

The construction of the temple complex belongs to mid-16th century century (1524) by order of the Sovereign of All Rus' Vasily III(father of Ivan the Terrible). Its construction was timed to coincide with the return of Smolensk to the Principality of Moscow.

The temple is inextricably linked with the history of Russia: at one time it was in custody legendary personality- Boyar Morozova, in addition, on the instructions of Peter I, Princess Sophia spent 15 years within the monastery walls (under the name of Susanna), who did not want to voluntarily give up power to her brother.

Now tourists have the opportunity to attend a church service, explore the temple interior and spend time in the silence of the monastery park.

Visits by tourists to the Novodevichy necropolis, located on the territory of the temple, are allowed only as part of an excursion, where you can view the burials famous people. As already mentioned, this is the third UNESCO cultural heritage site in Moscow.

Old Arbat

This famous walking spot is also included in the register of Moscow cultural heritage sites.

In the city center there is the most famous pedestrian street, approximately 1.5 km long - Old Arbat.

Historical documents indicate that in the 16th century XVII centuries on the site of the modern street there was a Kolymazhnaya settlement (craft village) for the manufacture of carts and carts - carts.

A more convincing version is that the word comes from short form“humpback”, which characterizes the terrain: a curved part of the road.

IN XVIII century Arbat was mainly inhabited by artisans and merchants.

In the middle of the 19th century, noble nobility began to settle here, and the street gradually became a quiet and peaceful part of the city, where stone and wooden mansions surrounded by gardens were built.

IN different times Sergei Rachmaninov, Alexander Scriabin, Lev Saltykov-Shchedrin and many others lived here famous people Russia.

Now Old Arbat is a pedestrian zone. Lots of souvenir shops among the museums different directions, street artists, musicians, singers create indelible impressions on tourists.

Ostankino tower

It is considered a modern unique structure. Ostankino
The radio and television tower, despite its relatively young history, was included in the register by the Department of State Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects.

In 1963 (beginning of construction), the structure was considered the tallest in the world.
Now this tower is considered one of the tallest buildings in central Europe.

The tower, built over four years, began broadcasting television on November 7, 1967.

Tourists are given the opportunity to examine the Ostankino structure as part of a tour, where the guide will tell you that the height of the structure is 540 meters, and its total weight including the foundation is 51,400 tons.

Guests of the city can take a high-speed elevator to observation deck, located at an altitude of 340 meters, and also visit the Seventh Heaven restaurant. The peculiarity of this three-story drinking establishment is its rotation around its axis at a speed of one revolution in 45 minutes.

Mansion "Tsaritsyno"

The Department of State Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects included 21 mansions in the list of historically significant places.

The most visited is the Tsaritsyno palace and park complex (Tsaritsyno metro station).

The palace was built in the 18th century and was intended as the country residence of Catherine II. After the complete restoration of the cultural heritage site in Moscow (completed in 2007), this building is used as the “History of Tsaritsyno” museum.

On the territory of the palace there are the Tsaritsynsky pond and a landscape park, a walk through which will bring pleasure to tourists of any age.

Mansion "Kuskovo"

The Kuskovo estate is considered one of the favorite vacation spots of Muscovites and guests of the capital. The address of the Moscow cultural heritage site is Yunosti Street (Novogireevo metro station).

For 400 years, the palace building belonged to the Sheremetevs (representatives of an ancient boyar family).

After restoration work was completed, two ceramics workshops and the Kuskovo Estate Museum were opened in the building. Tourists will be interested in taking a walk through the French Park, which is considered the most picturesque and oldest park in the capital of the Russian Federation.

We can talk for a long time about the historically significant places of this wonderful city. The Moscow Department for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects has compiled an impressive list of them. But above were listed those that really need to be visited at least once in a lifetime by every person interested in the history of our country.
