KHARKIV ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE IN THE 19TH-20TH CENTURIES STANDS IN THE PERIOD OF THE NEWEST CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY

Preservation of the nation’s cultural code is a very urgent issue. This issue is especially acute during armed conflicts. Today, during the russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine is losing its outstanding historical and cultural heritage of cities. One such city is Kharkiv, which concentrates significant cultural, economic and industrial potential. It has an exceptional historical and architectural environment, formed by famous architects of different eras, including the late 19th–early 20th centuries. For Ukraine in the conditions of the russian-Ukrainian war, as a state with a rich and unique cultural heritage, the issue of developing effective mechanisms and methods for preserving historical heritage is very urgent. It is extremely important to form a register and photograph destroyed and damaged monuments, use modern technologies to preserve historical and architectural heritage at least in digital format for future generations; monitor losses and damage using satellite images; training of professional specialists. It is important to explore the world’s experience in resolving these issues in situations of armed conflict.
