Objects of cultural heritage: review, register, laws. Department for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites

The concept of a cultural heritage object (historical and cultural monuments)

The concept of “cultural heritage objects” has been included in legal circulation relatively recently. One of the first legislative acts where this term appears is the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on Culture (Article 41), adopted by the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation in 1992. At the same time, in the RSFSR Law “On the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Monuments,” as well as in industry-specific regulatory legal acts issued before the collapse of the USSR, the term “historical and cultural monuments” was used. Currently, the concepts of “cultural heritage objects” and “historical and cultural monuments” are used in Russian legislation as identical to designate real estate that has historical and cultural value. Along with these concepts, federal legislation uses terms that are similar in meaning, but have independent meaning: “cultural values”, “cultural heritage”, “cultural heritage”, “identified objects of cultural heritage”, “objects that have the characteristics of an object of cultural heritage”, “objects of historical and cultural value”, “objects of archaeological heritage”.

In the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which enshrines cultural human rights and freedoms, the terms “cultural values”, “historical and cultural monuments”, “historical and cultural heritage” are used to designate values ​​created by people (Articles 44, 72).

The essence of the term “cultural heritage,” as follows from dissertation research and published scientific works, is of less interest to scientists than the essence of cultural values. As an independent concept, it is relatively rare in national legislation and is used mainly in relation to movable and immovable cultural property created in the past and belonging to the peoples of the Russian Federation. In rare cases, Russian legislation provides for the classification of intangible assets as cultural heritage. Thus, according to the preamble and Article 11 of the Federal Law of December 18, 1997 N 152-FZ “On the names of geographical objects,” the names of geographical objects are an integral part of the historical and cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation. As a rule, the term “cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation” is used in regulatory legal acts in combination with the word “objects”.

In the legal literature, the point of view has been repeatedly expressed about the identity of the concepts “cultural values” and “cultural heritage” used in existing international legal documents. Boguslavsky M.M. Cultural values ​​in international circulation: legal aspects. M.: Yurist, 2005. P. 17; Potapova N.A. International legal problems of the protection of cultural property and legislation of the Russian Federation: Author's abstract. dis. ...cand. legal Sciences: 12.00.10. M., 2001 However, this conclusion cannot be extrapolated to national legislation. In our opinion, cultural heritage occupies an intermediate position between cultural values ​​and objects of cultural heritage. The difference between cultural heritage and cultural values ​​is that cultural heritage always has the property of antiquity. The relationship between these concepts can be presented as follows: not every cultural value can relate to cultural heritage, but everything that belongs to cultural heritage is a cultural value.

It should be noted that many researchers studying the problems of legal protection of cultural heritage give their own scientific definitions of this concept and propose to use them as legal definitions. So, E.N. Pronina proposes to understand cultural heritage as “the totality of material and spiritual cultural values ​​created in the past, inherited and adopted from previous generations and important for the preservation and development of the identity of the people, regardless of their origin and owner.” Pronina, E.N. Technical and legal study of the legislative definition of “cultural heritage objects” / E.N. Pronina.//Law and State. -2009. - No. 6. - P. 138 -140

A number of scientists have examined cultural heritage from cultural and philosophical points of view. K.E. Rybak believes that cultural heritage should be understood as “the totality of objects of material culture and joint creations of man and nature, regardless of their location, as well as objects of spiritual culture that are significant for the preservation and development of local cultures that have universal value for culture (art, science ) and promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.” Rybak K.E. Convention for the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage and Protection of Cultural Values ​​// Culture: management, economics, law. - 2006. According to A.A. Kopsergenova, cultural heritage is the totality of all cultural achievements of society, its historical experience, preserved in the arsenal of social memory. “The essence of cultural heritage,” she notes, “are those values ​​that were created by previous generations, are of exceptional importance for the preservation of the cultural gene pool and contribute to further cultural progress.” Kopsergenova A.A. Cultural heritage: philosophical aspects of analysis: Dis. ...cand. Philosophy: 09.00.13. Stavropol, 2008. 184 p. From the point of view of A.P. Sergeev, cultural heritage forms “the totality of material and spiritual cultural values ​​inherited from past eras to humanity, subject to preservation, critical assessment, revision, development and use in accordance with the specific historical tasks of our time.” Sergeev A.P. Civil protection of cultural property in the USSR. L.: Publishing house Leningr. Univ., 1990. pp. 16 - 17. A.A. Mazenkova considers cultural heritage as an information subsystem of culture that has significance (positive or negative) and is based on the experience of previous generations. “Within the framework of a systemic approach,” she notes, “cultural heritage is a sociocultural system of values ​​that preserves sociocultural experience based on the characteristics of collective memory.” Mazenkova A.A. Cultural heritage as a self-organizing system: Author's abstract. dis. ...cand. Philosophy: 24.00.01. Tyumen, 2009. P. 12. S.M. Shestova understands cultural heritage as a set of historical and cultural monuments. Shestova S.M. Historical and cultural analysis of normative regulation of the protection and use of historical and cultural monuments in Russia: Author's abstract. dis. ...cand. cultural Sciences: 24.00.03. St. Petersburg, 2009. P. 16

In general, we can agree with what was proposed by E.N. Pronina's definition of cultural heritage. This concept can be used in relation to any cultural values ​​(tangible and intangible, movable and immovable) created in the past, regardless of whether these values ​​are included in special lists (registers). Such cultural values ​​may have a certain cultural significance, both for individual nations, municipalities, states, as well as other government entities within states, and for the entire world community.

In modern Russian legislation, in relation to immovable cultural assets created in the past, the term “objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation” is used. This term is relatively new. The 90s of the last century were characterized by instability of the concepts used in regulatory legal acts to designate immovable monuments of history and culture. In a number of acts, along with this concept, other terms were used: “objects of historical and cultural heritage”, “objects of historical and cultural heritage”. A special category included “particularly valuable objects of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation.”

Since 2001, the term “cultural heritage objects” has already been firmly rooted in Russian legislation. This is due to the fact that in 2001 several important federal laws were adopted, which already took into account the new conceptual apparatus of the draft sectoral Federal Law “On objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation” considered in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. With the adoption of Federal Law No. 73-FZ in June 2002, we can talk about the final renewal of the conceptual apparatus that was formed in the Soviet era. New concepts and their definitions were included in the legal circulation. It should be emphasized that the modern understanding of the term “historical and cultural monument” does not correspond to its understanding in the meaning defined by the 1976 USSR Law “On the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Monuments” (later - the 1978 RSFSR Law of the same name).

Unlike the previous definition, the modern definition of this concept, enshrined in Article 3 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ, excludes movable and intangible cultural assets. Some researchers see this as a drawback and propose to include movable things in the legal definition of the concept “objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation.” Alexandrova M.A. Civil legal regime of cultural property in the Russian Federation: Author's abstract. dis. ...cand. legal Sciences: 12.00.03. St. Petersburg, 2007. P. 11. Others consider it necessary to separate movable and immovable property into separate legal categories. So, K.A. Dikanov proposed to understand “cultural values” only as movable property, and “historical and cultural monuments” as real estate. In his opinion, the unifying (generic) concept should be the term “objects of cultural and historical heritage.” Dikanov K.A. Combating criminal attacks on cultural values: criminal legal and criminological aspects: Abstract of thesis. dis. ...cand. legal Sciences: 12.00.08. M., 2008. P. 13. From our point of view, the allocation of immovable cultural property to a special legal category is justified. First of all, this is due to the fact that in relation to immovable and movable things, due to their natural properties, a different legal regime is established. Also, public relations that develop regarding real estate have their own characteristics and are regulated not only by civil, administrative and criminal legislation, but also by land legislation, legislation on urban planning and architectural activities. Accordingly, the legal regulation of social relations arising regarding movable and immovable cultural values ​​should be carried out separately. However, we cannot agree that cultural values ​​should be understood only as movable things. This approach does not correspond to the modern doctrinal interpretation of cultural values.

The main drawback of the scientific definitions of the concept of “historical and cultural monuments” formulated in the literature is that monuments are considered exclusively as a special type of property that has a set of specific features, properties and therefore must be preserved in the interests of a particular society, regardless of the will of a person.

The legal definition of the concept of “cultural heritage objects”, enshrined in Article 3 of Federal Law N 73-FZ, has been deservedly criticized by scientists and practitioners. Some of them came to the conclusion that this definition does not reflect the necessary essential features of the objects under study and, in general, is amorphous and artificial in nature. Aleksandrova M.A. Op. op. pp. 10 - 11. It’s hard to disagree with this. However, consideration of this issue will not be complete without an analysis of other similar terms that make up the conceptual apparatus of Federal Law N 73-FZ.

Article 3 of this Law establishes the definition of “cultural heritage objects (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation” and a new classification of these objects by type: monuments, ensembles and places of interest. Objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation are understood here as objects of real estate with associated works of painting, sculpture, decorative and applied art, objects of science and technology and other objects of material culture that arose as a result of historical events, representing value from the point of view of history, archaeology, architecture, urban planning, art, science and technology, aesthetics, ethnology or anthropology, social culture and being evidence of eras and civilizations, authentic sources of information about the origin and development of culture.

A detailed examination of Part 1 of Article 3 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ gives grounds to believe that the term “cultural heritage objects” can be applied to any real estate objects of historical and cultural value, including in relation to identified cultural objects heritage. However, their legal status is different.

Thus, we can conclude that the use in the text of Federal Law N 73-FZ of various concepts that are similar in content indicates the internal inconsistency of the document, the provisions of which are difficult to understand and interpret. Often, such inconsistency in the conceptual apparatus leads in practice to legal disputes and the adoption of incorrect decisions by state authorities and local governments.

It is obvious that the definition of “cultural heritage objects (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation”, enshrined in Article 3 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ, needs to be revised.

Summarizing the definitions of authoritative scientists indicated above, and taking into account all the inaccuracies of the definitions, taking as a basis the authoritative opinion of A.N. Panfilov, we can conclude that objects of cultural heritage should be understood as a set of immovable cultural values ​​created by man or subjected to his purposeful influence in the past, included in the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Objects (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation on the basis of a regulatory legal act of the authorized public authority. Only in relation to a real estate object registered in the register, the state should establish a special protection regime that ensures its authenticity in the interests of society. A.N. Panfilov “Cultural values ​​and objects of cultural heritage: the problem of unification of concepts” / “Law and Politics”, 2011, N 2

A little earlier, on September 1, the Moscow city branch of VOOPIK submitted an application to the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage to include “an object that has the characteristics of a cultural heritage object” in the state register of historical and cultural monuments. But even earlier, the city authorities issued the developer, the Morton group of companies, an urban planning plan for the land plot (GPZU), which allowed massive new housing construction on the site of the historical buildings of the hospital complex. Even earlier, in April 2005, a resolution was issuedThe Moscow government on the implementation of a construction investment contract here with the demolition of 26 out of 37 buildings of the former factory complex, on the territory of which there was a hospital.

The hospital building (until 1914 – a complex of warehouses of the Russian Red Cross Society), a good example of the “brick style” of the early twentieth century, until recently retained many of the original elements of facade and interior decoration.

After the demolition in September, a real scandal erupted in the media, and city officials even started talking about the destruction of the building as a blatant violation of the law. But several months passed, and the developer, as if nothing had happened, continued in December 2015 with the demolition of other buildings that were once part of the historical complex.

Activists from the Moscow region branch of VOOPIK reported that a house in the first quarter of the 20th century in Zvenigorod died in fire. Since 1998, the building has had the status of an identified historical and cultural monument.

Judging by the nature of the fire, it was obvious arson. According to neighbors, the building burst into flames throughout the entire area in a matter of minutes.”

Previously, the Zvenigorod branch of VOOPIK repeatedly, but to no avail, appealed to the Ministry of Culture of the Moscow Region with statements about the need to take measures to bring the owner of the house to justice due to the improper condition of the monument and the threat to its safety.

New residential development is planned in the adjacent area.

The public, who fought for them for a long time, have lost their legal support.

In early December, Arkhnadzor discovered the complete absence of a cultural heritage site of regional significance on the site - the outbuilding of the Khludov city estate built in 1861. Instead of a wooden mansion, behind the construction screen there was a vacant lot with a concrete slab.

According to the official version, “emergency response work” is taking place on the architectural monument (customer - Media Consulting LLC, contractor - Profinvest LLC, architectural supervision - RSK Architectural Heritage LLC). The house was included in the “ruble per meter” preferential rental program, which provides for the restoration of monuments in record time. During the emergency work, again according to the official version, the monument collapsed, after which it had to be completely dismantled.

New Year's series "Watchmen" Legacies”:

on cultural heritage in Russia 2015.

about the fate of cultural heritage in Russia and the world in 2015.

To be continued.

Heritage is a system of material and intellectual-spiritual values ​​saved or created by previous generations. They are important for preserving historical memory, as well as the cultural and natural gene pool of the country. Tradition and continuity play an important role in the formation of culture. Cultural heritage is also traditions aimed at preserving cultural memory. Today, thanks to a careful study and development of a classification of monuments, the concept of “cultural heritage” has been rethought and sounds like “a set of material and spiritual monuments, which include in situ monuments (monuments of urban planning, architecture, history, archeology, monumental art, nature, and so on) , movable monuments (objects of pictorial art, manuscripts, archives, and so on) and so-called spiritual monuments (specific forms of management, beliefs, traditions, technologies, and so on).”

“Cultural heritage” is a relatively new term and is used today in Russian legislation and international documents as confirmation of the process of formation in modern society of a systematic approach to world culture, cultural values ​​and environmental protection. The conceptual apparatus for the protection of cultural heritage has changed with the development of scientific ideas about monuments and with changes in the political and ideological situation in the country (government policy in the field of culture is expressed, first of all, in legislative acts on the protection, restoration and use of monuments). The history of the formation of the concept of “cultural heritage” is inextricably linked with the development of scientific ideas about monuments.

XVIII century, prehistory of the preservation of antiquities. The concept of “monument” did not exist. There were the concepts of “antique”, “antiquity”, “curiosities”, “rarities” and a pragmatic, utilitarian attitude towards immovable monuments. Interest in the material value of a thing. State initiative to identify, record, and preserve antiquities (primarily “material”, “movable” monuments). Development of historical science. Monuments were perceived as a historical source. Comprehensive study of monuments (questionnaire about “landmarks”). Criteria for evaluating monuments were developed.

In the 19th century, archeology was established as a science. Using the archaeological method to study monuments. The concept of "ancient monument". Generalizing studies and the first decrees on the protection of “ancient monuments” appeared. Zabelin uses the concept of “architectural monument” in his work. Various scientific societies are being created. 1851 - Sakharov’s work “Note for the review of Russian antiquities”, the concept of “ancient monument” or “archaeological monument” was expanded, but they were not allocated to a special group.

Second half of the 19th century. Beginning of the development of a draft law on the protection of “ancient monuments” (1869, Uvarov). The end of the century was marked by the use of artistic method and ensemble principle; monuments are beginning to be viewed as an artistic phenomenon, as an “aesthetic value” in the natural environment (Zabelin’s work “Experience in the Study of Russian Antiquities and History” of 1873). At this time, only buildings created before 1725 can be considered architectural monuments.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the scientific community understood the concept of “monuments” not only of particularly valuable ancient objects, but also of all antiquity in general, and specifically “monuments of art and antiquity,” “ancient monuments,” “historical monuments.” In the 1920s and 30s, the concept of “monument” began to mean buildings, estates, and structures of later times. During this period, the concepts of “uniques”, “monuments of art”, “monuments of antiquity”, “monuments of everyday life”, “historical monument”, “monument of the revolution”, “monument of the civil war”, “monument of socialist construction and labor” and so on arose. . Pokrovsky's school applied a class approach to monuments.

In 1948, in the resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers “On measures to improve the protection of cultural monuments”, the concept of “cultural monument” was first used, which includes specific types of monuments of history, architecture, art, and archeology. In 1954, at the Hague Conference, the concept of “cultural property” was first formulated (more precisely, in the document “On the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict”). The Venice Charter was adopted at the II International Congress of Architects and Technical Specialists of Historical Monuments in Venice in 1964. The concept of “historical monument” includes both a separate architectural work and an urban or rural environment that bears the characteristic features of a particular civilization, a significant development or historical event. It extends to outstanding monuments and to more modest structures that acquire significant cultural value over time.

On June 25, 2002, the Law of the Russian Federation “On objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation” was issued. Its adoption was a major event in the protection of cultural heritage. This law emphasizes the value of cultural heritage sites as a symbol of national cultural identity.

A supplement to the magazine “Parish” has been published on a CD “Arrangement, preservation and construction of the temple. Architectural, construction and engineering solutions."

The CD includes articles and illustrative materials devoted to the arrangement, preservation, restoration and construction of new churches. The materials are intended for rectors and parish members whose responsibilities include these issues.

The author of most of the articles and the compiler of this publication is the architect M.Yu. Kesler, under whose leadership the Architectural and Artistic Design and Restoration Center of the Moscow Patriarchate ACC “Archtemple” developed the Code of Rules “Buildings, structures and complexes of Orthodox churches” (SP 31-103-99).

Many materials were published by the author on the pages of the magazine “Parish” and have now become difficult to access. The disk also includes other articles taken from other open sources and more fully revealing the range of issues discussed, including the spiritual foundations and traditions of Orthodox church building. For those wishing to obtain detailed information on the issues under consideration, a list of recommended literature and Internet resources is provided.

Rich illustrative material will help users of the disk find examples of architectural solutions, elements of arrangement and decoration of churches and chapels. To select a finished project, catalog sheets are attached indicating the authors who can be contacted to use the project.

Full information about the disc is available on the website of the magazine “Parish” www.vestnik.prihod.ru.

Legislation in the field of conservation, use and state protection of cultural heritage sites (historical and cultural monuments)

Federal Law of June 25, 2002 No. 73-FZ “On objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation” in Art. 3 talks about objects of cultural heritage, which are real estate of a special kind and with a special legal regime.

According to this article, to objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation, incl. religious purposes, include real estate objects with associated works of painting, sculpture, decorative and applied art and other objects of material culture that arose as a result of historical events, representing value from the point of view of history, archeology, architecture, urban planning, art, aesthetics, social culture and are sources of information about the development of culture.

Objects of cultural heritage for religious purposes, in accordance with this law, are divided into the following types:

  • monuments - individual buildings, buildings and structures with historically established territories (churches, bell towers, chapels and other objects specifically intended for worship); mausoleums, separate burials; works of monumental art; objects, the main or one of the main sources of information about which are archaeological excavations or finds (hereinafter referred to as objects of archaeological heritage);
  • ensembles - groups of isolated or united monuments and buildings clearly localized in historically established territories: temple complexes, monasteries, farmsteads, necropolises;
  • places of interest - creations created by man, or joint creations of man and nature, including fragments of urban planning and development; places of religious ceremonies.

Objects of cultural heritage are divided into the following categories of historical and cultural significance:

  • objects of cultural heritage of federal significance - objects of historical, architectural, artistic, scientific and memorial value, having special significance for the history and culture of the Russian Federation, as well as objects of archaeological heritage;
  • objects of cultural heritage of regional significance - objects that have historical, architectural, artistic, scientific and memorial value, which are of particular importance for the history and culture of the subject of the Russian Federation;
  • objects of cultural heritage of local (municipal) significance - objects that have historical, architectural, artistic, scientific and memorial value, and are of particular importance for the history and culture of the municipality.

Thus, historical and cultural monuments are understood only as real estate objects.

However, many of the buildings and structures are in ruins and can hardly be called historical and cultural monuments. The question arises whether the destroyed buildings are classified as cultural monuments and what percentage of destruction is necessary in order to state their complete physical destruction. It seems that this issue should be resolved more clearly in legislation.

Objects recognized as historical and cultural monuments are subject to a special legal regime and are under special legal protection. In order for a particular object to receive special legal protection, it is necessary that it be recognized as such in the manner prescribed by law. It should be borne in mind that there are no objective signs for recognizing them as such. Each time this issue is resolved individually based on the opinion of specialists.

Historical and cultural monuments can be owned by any subject of civil rights, but most historical and cultural monuments are in federal state ownership. The inability of the state to provide adequate protection to cultural monuments is evidenced by the fact that over the past ten years, Russia, according to the Ministry of Culture, has lost 346 monuments of federal significance.

In this regard, the question of the need to transfer cultural monuments from federal ownership to the ownership of other subjects of civil law has long been raised.

A special regime was established for cultural heritage sites for religious purposes. So, according to paragraph 2 of Art. 50 of the Law on Objects of Cultural Heritage, objects of cultural heritage for religious purposes can be transferred into the ownership only of religious organizations in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

On December 3, 2010, the Law “On the transfer of state or municipal property for religious purposes to religious organizations” came into force. How religious organizations will properly preserve church values ​​transferred by the state is a question that concerns not only museum workers, but also church organizations themselves.

Concern for the preservation of cultural heritage must be recognized as a task for the entire Church.

State system for the protection of cultural heritage sites (historical and cultural monuments)

The state protection of cultural heritage objects in Federal Law No. 73-FZ “On objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation” is understood as a system of legal, organizational, financial, material, technical, information and other adopted by government bodies of the Russian Federation and government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local government bodies, within their competence, take measures aimed at identifying, recording, studying cultural heritage objects, preventing their destruction or causing harm to them, monitoring the preservation and use of cultural heritage objects in accordance with the Federal Law.

In accordance with Art. 8 of this law, religious associations have the right to assist the federal executive body, specially authorized in the field of state protection of cultural heritage objects, in the preservation, use, popularization and state protection of cultural heritage objects in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Control over the safety of cultural heritage objects is carried out by the Federal Service for Supervision of Compliance with Legislation in the Sphere of Mass Communications and the Protection of Cultural Heritage, formed in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 17, 2004 No. 301, which is a federal executive body. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation. According to clause 5.1.3 of the said resolution, it exercises state control over the preservation, use, popularization and state protection of objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation (historical and cultural monuments), including jointly with government authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Sources of financing for conservation, popularization and state protection of cultural heritage sites are:

  • federal budget;
  • budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation;
  • off-budget receipts.

At a meeting of the working group under the President of the Russian Federation on the restoration of cultural heritage sites for religious purposes, held on June 17, 2011 in the Kremlin, Patriarch Kirill spoke about the problem of financing the restoration of destroyed shrines in Russia. Within the framework of the federal target program “Russian Culture (2006-2011),” 1.2-1.4 billion rubles are allocated. per year for more than a thousand religious sites alone that need to be restored. In reality, about 100 billion rubles are needed to restore churches and monasteries. Patriarch Kirill emphasized that no one is asking to allocate such money in the near future, “financing needs to be correlated with real needs,” however, if the level of investment remains the same, then while some monuments will be restored, many others will be completely lost. Temples in ruins simply cannot wait their turn - examples can be found in the Yaroslavl and even Moscow regions.

“As for the preservation of our cultural heritage, this, of course, is primarily the concern of the state, although responsibility should not be removed from both the Church and the relevant institutions of civil society,” the Primate emphasized at a meeting in the Kremlin.

To make the “Culture of Russia” program more effective, the Patriarch proposed reducing the list of applications and concentrating on those objects that have already begun to be restored. “It’s better for us to finish what we started than to take on new facilities and thus put the entire program at risk,” he emphasized.

The Patriarch also did not rule out the possibility of highlighting other priorities when choosing churches that require restoration. For example, more attention can be paid to the restoration of churches, the history of which is tied to historical names, dates, and events, the Patriarch suggested. It is also wise to restore monuments that have become centers of pilgrimage and tourism.

The Russian Federation maintains a unified state register of cultural heritage objects (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the register), containing information about cultural heritage objects.

The register is a state information system that includes a data bank, the unity and comparability of which is ensured through the general principles of formation, methods and forms of maintaining the register.

The information contained in the register is the main source of information about cultural heritage objects and their territories, as well as about protection zones of cultural heritage objects during the formation and maintenance of the state land cadastre, state urban planning cadastre, other information systems or data banks that use (take into account) this information.

In accordance with the law, the register is formed by including in it objects of cultural heritage in respect of which a decision was made to include them in the register, as well as by excluding from the register of objects of cultural heritage in respect of which a decision was made to exclude them from the register, in the order established by Federal Law.

In accordance with the Federal Law of June 25, 2002 No. 73-FZ “On objects of cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation,” a Code of Restoration Rules (PSR, 2007) was developed, including recommendations for all types of research, survey, design and production work aimed at researching and preserving cultural heritage sites (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation, with associated works of painting, sculpture, and decorative and applied art.

The set of restoration rules meets the requirements of the Orders of the Federal Service for Supervision of Compliance with Legislation in the Field of the Protection of Cultural Heritage (Rosokhrankultura).

However, the presence of such a document does not guarantee a professional approach to the restoration of cultural heritage. Protect Russian monuments from... restorers. This call was made at a press conference held in Moscow by leading specialists in the domestic restoration industry. And this is not a paradox. While the state entrusts the restoration of masterpieces of architecture and art to non-professionals, the country’s cultural heritage is under threat. The reason is the imperfection of legislation. According to Federal Law No. 94-FZ “On placing orders for the supply of goods, performance of work, provision of services for state and municipal needs,” adopted in 2005, a competition must be held among restoration firms. Anyone who has a license can win it, which is not so difficult to obtain. As a result, the same object is being restored by completely different organizations. There are companies that specialize in winning competitions and then sell subcontracts to performers. If earlier the problem was that there was no money for restoration, and the monuments were destroyed over time, now there is money, but every year it goes to different companies. Masterpieces of ancient Russian architecture are perishing from too frequent changes of “guardians”, who, for the sake of a tasty morsel, reduce the time of work and lower prices.

Objects of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation are objects in the form of real estate or other objects in the form of a monument or sculpture that have historical value. To preserve the historical heritage, Federal Law No. 73 was adopted.

The current Federal Law includes norms and rules that contribute to the protection of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation. Every citizen of the Russian Federation is obliged to protect monuments and preserve sculptures. The legislation is also aimed at implementing the rights to develop and preserve information in a primary form to create one’s own culture. Objects of cultural heritage (monuments, sculptures, etc.) are of particular value for the people of the Russian Federation. Such objects form part of the world's cultural heritage.

The bill was adopted on May 24, 2002, and came into force based on a decision of the Federation Council on June 14, 2002. The last amendments were made on March 7, 2017.

The Law “On Objects of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of the Russian Federation” includes the following aspects:

  • Determination of the subject of regulation of the current Federal Law;
  • Determining the powers of authorities to preserve, use or restore historical monuments;
  • Providing funding for activities that contribute to the preservation, popularization and creation of one’s own cultural heritage;
  • Accounting for historical properties;
  • Conducting an examination;
  • Creation of methods for the preservation of historical monuments;
  • Definitions of situations in which property rights to such types of real estate and historical objects arise or terminate;
  • Listing the conditions for renting cultural heritage real estate;
