520 'In the craven world of architectural criticism Hatherley
is that rarest of things: a brave, incisive, elegant and
erudite writer, whose books dissect the contemporary built
environment to reveal the political fantasies and social
realities it embodies' Will Self During the course of the
twentieth century, communism took power in Eastern Europe
and remade the city in its own image. Ransacking the urban
planning of the grand imperial past, it set out to
transform everyday life, its sweeping boulevards, epic
high-rise and vast housing estates an emphatic declaration
of a non-capitalist idea. Now, the regimes that built them
are dead and long gone, but from Warsaw to Berlin, Moscow
to post-Revolution Kiev, the buildings, their most obvious
legacy, remain, populated by people whose lives were
scattered and jeopardized by the collapse of communism and
the introduction of capitalism. Landscapes of Communism is
an intimate history of twentieth-century communist Europe
told through its buildings; it is, too, a book about power,
and what power does in cities. In exploring what that
power was, Hatherley shows how much we can understand from
surfaces - especially states as obsessed with surface as
the Soviets were. Walking through these landscapes today,
Hatherley discovers how, in contrast to the common
dismissal of 'monolithic' Soviet architecture, these
cities reflect with disconcerting transparency the
development of an idea over the decades, with its sharp,
sudden zigzags of official style: from modernism to
classicism and back; to the superstitious despotic rococo
of high Stalinism, with its jingoistic memorials, palaces
and secret policemen's castles; East Germany's obsession
with prefabricated concrete panels; and the metro systems
of Moscow and Prague, a spectacular vindication of public
space that went further than any avant garde ever dared.
But most of all, Landscapes of Communism is a revelatory
journey of discovery, plunging us into the maelstrom of
socialist architecture. As we submerge into the metros,
walk the massive, multi-lane magistrale and pause at milk
bars in the microrayons, who knows what we might find?
