[Cameraman89]

The Russian Revival style arose in the Russian Empire during the first half of the 19th century within a growing interest in national historical architecture throughout Europe. The founders of the style are Vasiliy Stasov and Konstantin Thon. There are two directions in it: Russian neo-Byzantine and neo-Russian architecture, which were often combined with each other, as well as with other styles. This architectural tradition in Russia had been interrupted by the revolution of 1917, but Russian emigrants continued it in other countries.

The thread is free of true-byzantine-architecture-nazis, please don't leave silly hateful comments.

The threat is a great idea, maybe it'll finely make people realize how completely different are the styles of Byzantium and Russia.
The only thing that sort of bothers me is the word Byzantine in the title, since if the Byzantine architecture was a source of inspiration, then it truly failed to materialize to what it aspired to be.
But anyways I do believe the thread will make a great deal of actualizing the apparent differences between these completely different Empires/Societies.

For actual building revivals inspired by the VI or VII centuries Byzantium, users can head here:

I don't seek to prove anything, I just want to show beautiful and unique historical architecture.

Good thread, but the title is wrong. "Pseudo-Russian" and "Neo-Russian" are really the same thing and are more appropriately referred to as "Russian Revival" in English. "Russo-Byzantine" refers to a specific type of Russian Revival associated with the church buildings of Konstantin Thon, such as the Christ the Savior Cathedral. Meanwhile, the Marine Cathedral in Kronshtadt, the Ascension Cathedral in Novocherkassk, etc are properly called Neo-Byzantine, a distinct style developed in the Russian empire that is not to be confused with Russian Revival, though historically there was some mixing of the two.

One more...

In fact, there is no consensus about the Pseudo-Russian and Neo-Russian styles, the both terms are very conditional and vague, but many attribute them to different architectural areas.

This thread is about Russian architectural historicism and national romanticism of the 19th - early 20th century, which includes Russo-Byzantine, Russian Neo-Byzantine, Pseudo-Russian, Neo-Russian and mixed styles of that time. All these arose within the framework of a single historical, ideological and cultural process took place both in the Russian Empire and throughout Europe.
