VDNH in present time

VDNH in its modern look and perception has developed as the multilayered phenomenon which has complex cultural interrelations with various practices from the past and the present. The «ideal world» is understood as a series of inter-related worldview platforms, which have been implemented at VDNKH over a period of several stages of its development. These stages are closely related to momentous events which took place in Russia and worldwide during pre-military years and early 1950-s as well as during the years of "thaw", noted by special attention to scientific and technical progress. Severeal different models of the ideal world have been implemented at VDNH at 1930 and 1950-s and both of them have changed the layout and the look of VDNH.
The idea of "the ideal world" allows to put VDNKH in one row with the best works of landscape gardening art of the XVIII-XIX including such masterpieces as Versailles, to draw analogies to Giardini La Biennale di Venezia where Venetian Biennale takes place, to emphasize continuity of VDNKH and traditional festivities, fairs and exhibitions in pre-revolutionary Russia, as well as to draw a parallel with system of recreation parks (parks of culture and recreation) in the USSR.
