The Nostalgic Glass
"THE CLOSING CHAPTERS in the history of the Russian estate were written a century ago; what remains of the structures today has come to us through sheer architectural momentum. This momentum propelled the estate past a 20th century of revolution, war, disuse and neglect, and into a certain post-historical time, where present and future are marked only by the pace at which the changing seasons take their toll on the buildings, returning them to nature. Many people find this regrettable—and I do too, sometimes—but the fact is that it’s a natural, inevitable process, and not without a certain bright side."
