Chronotope of the National Urban Culture of the Second Half of the 20th Century

TheSoviet and post-Soviet urban environment represents a unique phenomenon of the national culture. The spatial-temporal structure of modern urban settlements has been developed as a result of the complex cultural, social, economic, and political transformations that occurred in the second half of the 20th century. The mass housing construction, which was initiated in the late fi fties and widely deployed in the 1960s— 1970s, formed the spatial image of the modern city, extant and functioning up to the present. The urban environment is closely intertwined with the fate of the citizens, becoming the stage of the human existence formation, the fi eld of deployment of the individual’s life world. The individual existence of a city dweller has acquired an intrinsic connection with the surrounding spatial-temporal urban unity. This natural cultural and historical relationship of the human individual life to the surrounding city environment, being relevant in this specifi c present historical period, justifi es our scienti fi c interest in this subject and our turning to the study of the spatiotemporal structure of Soviet and post-Soviet cities as a historical and cultural phenomenon, refl ected in different literary sources. The theoretical and methodological foundations and scientifi c novelty of this interpretation of the space-time system of the urban environment lies in the author’s understanding of the concept of chronotope, which has a universal ontological signi-fi cance, allowing essentially to disclose and describe any cultural-historical phenomenon.
