Extractions: Download (4.8 MB) Preface to the Museum of the USSR vladimir paperny (los angeles) A quarter of a century ago, I started looking at the shapes of the Soviet architecture, trying to "read" them as cultural utterances. The results were published in Russian under the title Kul'tura dva Culture Two ) first by Ardis Publishers (1985) then by Moscow journal Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie (1996). The English translation will be released by Cambridge University Press next year. A few years ago, a young Russian architectural student at the University of Utah, Olga Filippova, started thinking in the opposite direction. She took the basic concept of "Culture Two," namely the existence of two conflicting cultural mechanisms in Soviet culture-the one based on movement, horizontal axis, futurism and equality, the other, on stability, vertical axis, past and hierarchy-and tried to turn them back into architectural shapes. The results are presented below as The Museum of the USSR. The question that immediately arises is that of the legitimacy of her procedure. The shapes corresponding to the concept of cultures One and Two already exist in pre-Stalinist and Stalinist architecture. Is there a need to revive them? Filippova's answer is that she is trying not to revive Soviet architectural shapes but rather to offer a post-post-modern view of the post-Stalinist analysis of these shapes. The shapes she is using in her design are surprisingly close to the Russian avant-garde itself. Even the oppressive monolith representing Culture Two looks very cheerful, being pierced by the streaming bars of Culture One. Filippovas optimism, not unlike Frank Gehry's, is based on technology. The whole project is created and rendered in 3D Studio Max (one of the most sophisticated 3D modeling programs), while interactive animated tours are created using VRML language. None of this would have been possible five years ago.

She had good reason to be so excited. At the stroke of midnight on November 9, 1989, she became the first East German citizen in 28 years to cross freely throught the Berlin Wall into West Berlin. Thousands and then tens of thousands of East Germans soon poured through the Berlin Wall. As the incredible news spread that the wall had been opened, the long-divided city of Berlin erupted into a joyous celebration. . .Many slammed hammers into the wall, turning the once-feared symbol of communist oppression into small concrete souvenirs. . . The opening of the Berlin Wall marked the end of the Cold War and the start oof the new era. . ." ( World History, Perspective on the Past, pages 844-845).
