ST. PETERSBURG in the CULTURAL HISTORY of RUSSIA

Ozan Çiftçi

This paper argues that St. Petersburg played substantial and a unique role in the cultural history of Russia. While Russia has been discussing, for centuries, about its part in the Europe, St. Petersburg, as a city which made significant contribution to the ideology of Westernization with its definitive characters, has great importance. Paper tries to take a brief look at the place of St. Petersburg in the cultural history of Russia, within the scope of politics, art, literature and architect. In order to have a comprehensive view on the Westernization and Europeanisation of Russia, it is crucial to make a clear identification of the role and the character of St. Petersburg. Therefore the paper aims to give a brief picture of St. Petersburg in this process and its unique impact on the cultural and the political history of Russia.

Ozan Çiftçi

Bu makale St. Petersburg’un Rus kültürel tarihinde önemli ve benzersiz bir rol oynadığını ileri sürmektedir. Asırlardır Avrupa’daki konumunu tartışan Rusya’da özgün karakteri ile batılılaşma ideolojisine kayda değer katkıda bulunan St. Petersburg şehri, yüksek ehemmiyete sahiptir. Makale bu şehrin Rus kültürel tarihindeki yerini politika, sanat, edebiyat ve mimari kapsamında özetlemeye çalışmaktadır. Rusya’daki Avrupalılaşma ve batılılaşma noktasında kapsamlı bir görüş sahibi olabilmek için St. Petersburg’un rolü ve karakterinin tanımlanması elzemdir. Buna bağlı olarak makale St. Petersburg’un bu süreçte ve Rus kültürel ve siyasal tarihindeki etkisini özetlemek gayesini taşımaktadır.
