"Russian Parisian" Fedor Vasilievich Karzhavin (1745-1812), illegally exported by a 7-year-old child to France, and the famous architect Vasily Ivanovich Bazhenov (1737/8-1799) met in Paris, where in the fall of 1760 the talented pensioner of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts arrived for improving your skill. The friendship arising between them was seized by joint swimming in the summer of 1765 on a ship from Havra to St. Petersburg. From 1769 to 1773, Karzhavin served as an architectship assistant under the command of Bazhenov, who headed the reconstruction of the ancient Moscow Kremlin. “The position of Evo and knowledge is not in the drawings and not in the drawing,” Bazhenov represented his Parisian friend on the expedition of the Kremlin structure, “but, in the discussions about mathematical burdens, in physics, translated from Latin, from the French and Hellenic Greek language copyright works about the majestic proportions of architecture ". This knowledge was extremely needed by an architects school created at a modeling house in the Kremlin. The album "Types of Old Paris", conceived by Karzhavin as a manual" to explain, where beautiful architecture came from, much later became something like a diary of observations of events in revolutionary Paris. In the book of Galina Kosmolinskaya, his first full publication precedes the study in which the author introduces the reader with the Parisian biography of Karzhavin, the history of the creation of the album and analyzes its content.
