выпуск №188


В комментариях к нашему предыдущему посту о нижегородском постмодернизме упоминался знаменитый диалог, состоявшийся между купцом Сергеем Рукавишниковым и архитектором Петром Бойцовым и касавшийся стилистической принадлежности будущей усадьбы: «Строй во всех стилях сразу, денег хватит!». В этом смысле административное здание «Лукойл» на Грузинской ул., 26, также известное как «Реликварий» и построенное в 1994-1996 гг. по проекту Андрея Рубцова, Валерия Никишина и Марии Седовой, можно считать примером идеологического ретроспективизма, и такой взгляд на это сооружение нам кажется наиболее прагматичным, поскольку он призывает оценивать проект скорее в контексте многовековой нижегородской архитектуры и истории в целом, нежели в качестве сферического воплощения постмодернизма в вакууме, изобилующего отсылками к мировым памятникам архитектуры, от Японии до Кривоарбатского переулка.

Именно такой подход позволяет вспомнить - помимо имен Корбюзье, Марселя Дюшана, Константина Мельникова, Пита Мондриана, Ханса Холляйна (продолжите этот ряд сами) – Александра Харитонова, главного архитектора Нижнего Новгорода в 1993-1998 гг., которого Александр Дехтяр называет «неназначенным лидером нижегородских архитекторов», ведь именно Харитонов добился запрета на строительство по типовым проектам в исторической части города и создал условия для появления в городе самобытной и исключительно интересной современной архитектуры, благодаря которой в 1998 г. Григорий Ревзин назвал Нижний Новгород «столицей архитектурного зодчества»…

P.S. Возвращаясь к тезису об идеологической преемственности, а кому в 1990-е гг., как не нефтяному предприятию, было заказывать конторское здание сразу во всех стилях?

There’s an anecdote we have already mentioned in relation to our previous note on postmodernist architecture in Nizhny Novgorod. It is about an exchange that took place between Sergey Rukavishnikov, one of Nizhny Novgorod’s wealthiest merchants, and architect Pyotr Boytsov who was entrusted with overhauling Rukavishnikov’s manor. When Boytsov asked what architectural style his client would prefer for the new house, Rukavishnikov reportedly said, “Go ahead and pick all of them – money is not an issue!” This anecdote comes to mind when we look at the Lukoil building in 26 Gruzinskaya Ul. (aka the Reliquary) designed by Andrey Rubtsov, Valery Nikishin, and Maria Sedova and built over 1994-1996 and prompts us to view this build as a contextual study in ideological continuity rather than a case of pure and non-region-specific postmodernism thanks to plentiful allusions it has to world architecture, ranging from Japanese architecture to the Melnikov House in Krivoarbatsky Pereulok, Moscow.

A pastiche on the works by Corbusier, Kostantin Melnikov, Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Hans Hollein and whoever else you can think of, this building is, first and foremost, an organic addition to the architecture and history of Nizhny Novgorod that could hardly be possible outside of this context. As such, this design calls to mind another important name, that of Alexander Kharitonov who used to be the chief architect of Nizhny Novgorod back in 1993-1998 and is now referred to as “an unofficial leader of the local architectural community” by Alexander Dekhtyar, another contemporary architect based in Nizhny Novgorod. It was thanks to Kharitonov’s efforts that the government banned the use of pre-approved designs in the old town and Nizhny Novgorod became home to highly original architectural gems that preserve the spirit of the city and are a reason why Grigory Revzin dubbed Nizhny Novogord Russia’s "capital where architecture meets ages-old building traditions."

P.S. Circling back to our preamble, oil companies aside, who else could afford "picking all of the styles at once" in the Russia of the 1990s after all?

Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information.
