New materials regarding research in the fields of architecture and urban construction are being presented. The authors also focus on the history of the creation of little-known buildings of interest, on the development of local architectural traditions, on new attributions, and introduce recently discovered archive materials. A number of papers are dedicated to the issues of architectural and urban planning development of historical towns and cities or study the formation of architectural ensembles. The edition also includes papers that are devoted to theoretical historical-architectural problems, to biographies of architects, or analyze artistic approaches and concepts.

Kazan Kremlin in the late 16th Century
The paper describes and analyzes certain constructions of the Kazan kremlin, in particular, those parts of the ensemble, which appeared in the 1590s, adding up to the perimeter of the fortress, which had been partly completed in stone by masters from Pskov in the 1550s–1560s. The author takes a closer look at the design of the citadel’s walls, the positioning of the towers and the space between them, as well as at the general character of the fortifications. Further attention is given to the extant round towers — proof of the skill of the masons, who erected this fortress in the Middle Volga region. Certain comparisons are made with other defensive constructions of the time. The author suggests some analogues that this outstanding fortress, built in the reign of Tsar Feodor Ivanovich, has in other places — in particular, with the fortress of Astrakhan and the walls of the Ipatiyev Monastery.
