Self-censorship or Censorship with Corrections in the Two Volumes of A. V. Bunin’s and T.F. Savarenskaya’s Textbooks on the History of the Art of Urban Planning
After the graduation from the Moscow VKHUTEIN in 1930, A. V. Bunin worked on the general master plan of Moscow in the brigade of Kurt Meyer and took part in the discussion about the location of the Palace of Soviets in the first half of the 1930s. After these working experiences, A.V. Bunin and his colleagues worked on shaping a separate academic discipline of history of urban planning (history of the art of urban planning) that emerged in Moscow during the 1940s. This part of the critical analysis under the urbanHIST research project focuses on the preserved evidence of corrections, censorship and self-censorship through removed and added parts in the A.V. Bunin’s and T.F. Savarenskaya’s textbooks on the History of the Art of Urban Planning. This critical analysis of the archival and published documents focuses on shaping the parts: “The Mass Standard and Repeated Urban Development of Cities”, “the Soviet Contribution to the Functionalist Style”, and an unpublished fragment on the participation of the Soviet delegation at the 13th International Congress of Architects of 1935 in Rome in “The History of the Art of Urban Planning” textbooks by A.V. Bunin and T.F. Savarenskaya from the 1950s and 1970s. The comparison of the archival documents with the published texts by A.V. Bunin and T.F. Savarenskaya is implemented with the political contextualisation of their published and private materials.
