Abstract

The article examines the perception of the cultural landscape in the cities of the Trans-Urals region from the late 18th to the first half of the 19th century. On Russia’s periphery, images of the developed space had specific characteristics. State authorities there sought to culturally distance cities from the less-than-perfectly “proper” surrounding areas. These goals were visually supported by the infrastructure, boundaries, and regular planning of local cities. Military and civilian officials also introduced rational principles into the urban environment. The clash of innovations and familiar realities led to disorientation in people’s perception of the cultivated space.
