Abstract

The article looks at urban planning and construction processes in Vilnius during the Soviet era from a point of view that has not been widely explored in the existing historiography. The approach is based on analysing relations between the existing city and the city-in-construction within the context of Soviet urban modernisation. Interpreting the communist city as a utopia, the analysis looks at its role in shaping negative attitudes towards the historic city as well as what tangible forms this utopia assumes in the process of being realised. The article argues that this process, purportedly a rational way towards the utopia and characterised by a fragmentary implementation of development projects, is one of the main factors behind the disintegration of the urban space in the Soviet era.

一座历史城市的现代化与苏联乌托邦的构建——以维尔纽斯为例
这篇文章着眼于苏联时期维尔纽斯的城市规划和建设过程,其视角在现有的史学中尚未得到广泛探讨。该方法是基于分析在苏联城市现代化背景下现存城市和建设中的城市之间的关系。将共产主义城市解释为乌托邦,分析了它在塑造对历史城市的负面态度方面的作用,以及乌托邦在实现过程中所采取的有形形式。文章认为,这一过程,据称是通往乌托邦的理性之路,其特点是零碎地实施发展项目,是苏联时代城市空间解体背后的主要因素之一。
