Abstract

The article formulates the problems of research, promotion, preservation, and use of the dacha architecture of the Gulf of Finland within the boundaries of the Karelian isthmus. The features of the architectural and artistic identity of the cultural landscape of the Karelian isthmus, called "Russian Finland" in the Art-Nouveau era, are defined. They have been formed largely due to the summer housing and cultural domestic traditions as the result of fruitful cultural ties between Russia, especially St. Petersburg, and Finland at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. The author emphasizes the urgent need to develop the special St. Petersburg program of conservation and use of dacha architecture, the rapid disappearance of the last best examples of which will lead to the disappearance of the unique layer of material culture of St. Petersburg. Positive experience of the country architecture preservation in Finland is stated.
