Minsk in Space of Sociorealism

Article

Abstract

[In Russian]

Nowadays the general human space is a city space. One of
the most important city space’s features is simultaneous presence
in the past, present and future. We can see it mostly by means
of architecture. Minsk’s architecture style is a bright example of
socialist realism. Among the most important features of this style
is a general social orientation. The style was ideology. Due to its
dual nature (material and ideal) the architecture incarnated all
the style requirements in the best way possible including requirements
of the ideology.Socialist realism architecture has its role
in building from the point of view of the categories of nations,
history and time. It defined some characteristics of the style of
modern Belarusian culture.
