Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin announced on Sunday that the restoration of the palace-theater at Ostankino, a renowned monument of palace architecture, has begun as part of ongoing reconstruction works.
Consensus
- Restoration of the Ostanokino Palace-Theater has begun on July 19.
- The palace is one of the few surviving wooden palaces in Russia and a unique architectural monument from the late 18th century.
- The restoration includes work on decorative interior elements such as tile stoves, sculptures, parquet, mirrors, and painted ceiling panels.
- A large painted ceiling panel (plafond) in the picture gallery, covering over 150 square meters and created in 1797 using a rare tempero-glue technique, is being restored.
- The restoration of the eastern wing (Egyptian Pavilion) was completed in 2025.
- Work on the western wing (Italian Pavilion) is planned to be finished by the end of 2026.
- Full completion of the central part—the palace-theater—is expected by 2027.
Points of divergence
- In 2025, restoration of the lower iconostasis in the historic Church of Peter and Paul on Novaya Basmannaya Street will begin. The church was built between 1704–1723 under Peter the Great’s order, with reportedly personal involvement by the emperor in drafting plans. — vm
