Abstract

The study examines the architectures during 1920s-1930s in the south of Russia (a vast territory of the North-Caucasus and the Southern Federal Districts), in the context of issues of continuity, traditions and innovations. Both well-known architectural monuments designed by the leading masters of the country, and a wide layer of little-known objects are considered. It is concluded that although this period is usually associated with widespread avant-garde architecture, the influence of other stylistic movements (traditionalism, art deco) was also very great. A special place in the study is devoted to the problem of preserving the heritage. The study showed that only single objects are under state protection. Security status is not a guarantee of preservation of the monument. Moreover, the smaller the settlement is and the worse its economic condition is, the better the state of historical architectural objects will be.
