The subject of the presentation (entitled so paradoxically) is Russian regional architecture of XVIII c. that had managed to conserve some forms of late Middle Ages style through all the century. This architectural phenomenon will be presented as somewhat that cannot be reduced to a dichotomy “capital/provincial”. The lector will analyze the transformation of bulks, compositions, and décor of forms in their relations, which change from one generation to another. The stone and wood temples of Russia from 1680 to 1830 years (they constitute an unique architectural material, that is massive and accurately dated) were presented in many images.
