Town buildings in the system of life support of Siberian pioneers
Siberian colonization of space can not be considered as a simple draining resources from the territories annexed to the state. On the Siberian land cities and forts were built, and established land use: plowed land for economy of land cultivating, developed means of communication that provide the necessary information link. The formation of living space in the image and likeness of the habits were preceded in terms of required time and the application of physical and mental effort. For the stabilization of vital installations and a return to the familiar system of values required reference points in the «unknown» space. Such points are found in the style of cities, forts, fortresses and spiritual centers, churches and monasteries. The colonists had to develop their own «local, Siberian» subculture of life support. A dwelling is the most important component of the culture of life support. Creation of residential, office and commercial premises acquired in the XVIIth century was a massive action. The natural desire for stability was based on a return to the old traditional canons. However, the Siberian colonists did go back to the realities of the current situation. The inevitable innovations associated with borrowing from the multiethnic community left their mark on the arrangement and organization of the territory of Siberia.
