Who was Fyodor Gornostayev?

Fyodor Fyodorovich Gornostaev was a Russian architect and preservationist, notable for his folk interpretation of Russian Revival and restoration of landmark buildings in Suzdal, Kursk and Moscow Kremlin.

He should not be confused with two other architects by the name of Gornostaev, also engaged in Russian Revival art and preservation:

⁕Alexey Maksimovich Gornostaev, Russian Revival pioneer, noted for Valaam Monastery Cathedral, Trinity-Sergius Convent in Saint Petersburg and Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki

⁕Ivan Ivanovich Gornostaev, preservationist of historical buildings and chief architect of Saint Petersburg Public Library and University
