Leonidov's staircase. Vasiliev N.

The book is dedicated to the park staircase, built according to the project of the famous master of avant -garde Ivan Leonidov. This unique creation has become part of the landscape architecture of the sanatorium in Kislovodsk. Leonidov completed his project as a colleague of Moses Ginzburg in his workshop under the drug addict of heavy industry. The uniqueness of this staircase of the 1930s is in similarity to antique prototypes that Leonidov was not able to see in kind, in the finest study of its very complex composition, artistically made of natural stone. Saissible construction, which has unfolded near this building abandoned today, casts doubt on its safety along with a protected natural environment.
