In the heart of Russia’s old city Astrakhan, where history and modernity intertwine, one can observe refurbished or reconstructed houses. These buildings, constructed in various historical styles from medieval to Soviet periods, have become true cosmopolitan witnesses of time. The architecture of Astrakhan's street, where each structure accentuates its uniqueness and historical significance, creates a vivid open-air museum. Here you can spot remnants of different eras — brick walls, balconies with intricate lattices, mansard windows, and even panoramic views of the Volga River that is an integral part of the cityscape. On February 18, 2020, these buildings appear fresh and renewed, evoking a sense of progress in preserving the historical memory of the city.
