Résumé en anglais
An objective of the paper: social attitudes towards built legacyof second half of 20th century in post-soviet area. The case of Lithuania
was taken as a reflection of the processes in all ex-soviet block. Ratherpoor quality of construction and materials, saturation with communist
ideology and consequently “bad” politicized memories, seems inseparablefrom Soviet time architecture. However, despite of being “post-soviet” this
legacy reflects a certain period of architectural and cultural developmentand naturally deserves of being listed as a heritage. The paper discloses the
recent tendencies implying that successful preservation of this dissonantheritage greatly depends on social attitudes. First of all it means reshaping
the collective attitude/memory, i. e. finding a way to neutralize the negativeconnotations with political past, and to make these spaces to represent the
general history of architecture and culture.
