In the life of Ilya Glazunov
The whole life1970s
Speaks out against the General Plan for rebuilding Moscow
With like-minded people he compiled an album on “old” Moscow and the losses it had suffered; he and the composer Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov managed to gather the signatures of scientists and cultural figures under a letter to the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee. The general plan, put on display at the Manege, was criticised and withdrawn, and a public council was set up at the Moscow Main Architectural and Planning Directorate, without whose decision historic buildings could not be demolished.
1973
