This is a study of urban reconstruction and historic preservation in the Soviet-Russian city of Novgorod in the decade after World War II. A mid-sized city, located in the northwest part of the Russian republic of what was then the Soviet Union, Novgorod was not important economically, but it was an important city, at least symbolically. Novgorod is one of the oldest Russian cities, and a medieval capital of Northern Russia. The city boasted a number of rare and beautiful historical monuments, especially medieval churches and monasteries, and it came to play a crucial symbolic role in both the revival of Russian nationalism during the late 1930s, and Soviet resistance to the German invasion of 1941. The city was occupied and heavily damaged during the war, and became an important site for both urban and historic reconstruction in the post-war years. Reconstruction in the city incorporated all the processes, conflicts, and contradictions of post-war Soviet reconstruction, and provides an ideal focus of study.

520 $a This is a study of urban reconstruction and historic preservation in the Soviet-Russian city of Novgorod in the decade after World War II. A mid-sized city, located in the northwest part of the Russian republic of what was then the Soviet Union, Novgorod was not important economically, but it was an important city, at least symbolically. Novgorod is one of the oldest Russian cities, and a medieval capital of Northern Russia. The city boasted a number of rare and beautiful historical monuments, especially medieval churches and monasteries, and it came to play a crucial symbolic role in both the revival of Russian nationalism during the late 1930s, and Soviet resistance to the German invasion of 1941. The city was occupied and heavily damaged during the war, and became an important site for both urban and historic reconstruction in the post-war years. Reconstruction in the city incorporated all the processes, conflicts, and contradictions of post-war Soviet reconstruction, and provides an ideal focus of study.
520 $a Using Novgorod as an example, this study analyzes reconstruction and historic preservation in the post-war Soviet Union in several contexts. It examines the ways that Soviet ideology affected urban planning and the preservation of historic sites and architectural monuments. At the same time, this study explores the politics of reconstruction through the bureaucracy of planning and implementation. Chapters highlight not only the significant gap between plans and results, but also the chaotic process of planning. In fact, and despite the hyper-centralized character of the Soviet state, no single plan existed for Novgorod. Several different plans circulated through the different levels of bureaucracy at different times, under the auspices of different and more or less powerful agencies and individuals. By analyzing this process of "planning without a plan," this dissertation shows the Soviet "totalitarian" state in fact functioned, and did not function. Chapters explore the often-contradictory ways in which local officials vied among themselves to design or adapt plans to their own interests, and how they played the bureaucracy to do what they wanted to do. So too, and just as important, this study examines how popular use of historic sites in Novgorod thwarted the efforts of both local and higher authorities to reshape the city. Ordinary citizens, as well as local officials, creatively interpreted, altered, and simply ignored state directives, which also affected ways of reconstruction. Finally, the dissertation places Soviet reconstruction and preservation policies in a comparative European context, surveying trends from 1917 through the mid-1950s. As such, this study is one of the first attempts at comparative analysis of the reconstruction process in Europe and the Soviet Union. It also provides, for the first time, a picture of how historic preservation in the USSR evolved from 1917 through the post-war decade, and examines the role of the state's agencies in the field of historic preservation.
520 $a A significant portion of this dissertation focuses on the architect Aleksei Shchusev, the author of Novgorod's master plan of 1945, and one of the top Soviet architects. Shchusev's architectural works are well known, but this is one of the first studies to examine his activities as city planner and preservationist.
