Приятно, когда известные издания рассказывают о нашем музее наличников. Еще приятнее — когда это происходит неожиданно, а не после долгой переписки.
Но самое приятное, когда автор статьи заходит в сообщество (например на фейсбуке) и кидает ссылку на статью!

New Russian Builders Use Old Wood Styles
By D. Garrison Golubock
For most foreigners, a stereotypical Russian scene typically involves wood — wooden matryoshkas, wooden sleighs, and hand-carved wooden peasant huts. For those who live in Russia’s capital, where vistas are generally dominated by concrete, asphalt and steel, wood may seem to be a semi-mythical building material.
Two groups are working separately to both preserve Russia’s remaining wooden antiquities as well as celebrate new wooden architecture in the country. On the Internet, the “Virtual Museum of Decorated Windows,” or Nalichniki.com, is seeking to catalog hand-carved wooden window frames, known as nalichniki, from around the country. Meanwhile, here in Moscow at the Central House of Artists, the winners of the Arkhiwood 2013 competition for Russian wooden modern architecture are on display.
