Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our purpose of the investigation was to define characteristics of public space of exhibitions in the process of reconstruction in the Revolutionary Russia. The “Rediscovery” of Old Russian Icons in late Imperial Russia, the study and preservation of Icons as Medieval Russian Art and the construction of new cultural politics in post-Revolutionary Russia are its symbolic examples. As a result of the survey we published a bulletin with a timetable of historical and cultural fact.
