Architecture is the chronicle of the world, and it can tell us a lot about the past. But who exactly preserves it and who writes new lines in it?
Old mansions could, as before, be the center of cultural life, turn into theaters, museums or hotels, but, unfortunately, there are fewer interested in their restoration than indifferent.
On the background of old Russian architecture, the drama of its survival is played out: how restorationists strive to give the houses a "second life" despite all circumstances.
