“Graduates of the first cohort took part in the specialized exhibition “PROrestoration,” where they successfully demonstrated the skills they had acquired. The project gives young people the opportunity to try themselves in this field, while also learning more about Moscow’s architectural heritage,” noted Natalia Sergunina.

Morozov estate, the Savvinskoye compound, the Northern River Terminal, and Pavilion No. 5 “Physics” at VDNKh.
