Nikita Gerasimowitsch Lasarew ( Russian: Никита Герасимович Лазарев ; * 1866 in Moscow ; † 1932 ibid) was a Russian architect and building contractor .

Life

Lazarev was a descendant of Ivan Lazarevich Lasarev , who had founded the Lazarev Institute for Oriental Languages . After studying at the St. Petersburg Institute for Civil Engineers , he became a successful building contractor and built his own apartment buildings . His first significant work was the Jetschkina Hotel and later apartment building on Moscow Arbat 23 (1902–1903) in the style of Art Nouveau- based Moscow Modernism . This was followed by other buildings in the prestigious Moscow districts. The family friend Igor Emmanuilowitsch Grabar saw this as the beginning of a new age on the Arbat and the Pretschistenka .

After Lasarew had already carried out several orders from the Mindowski family of textile entrepreneurs , he built the house on Pretschistenski Pereulok 6/1 in 1906 on behalf of the Moscow trading and construction company Jacob Recks , which Nikolai Ivanovich Mindowski then bought. The house was one of the first and clearest examples of neoclassicism in Moscow and a forerunner of the buildings of Ivan Alexandrovich Fomin and Vladimir Alexeyevich Shchukos in St. Petersburg. The duel described in Boris Leonidowitsch Pasternak's novel Doktor Schiwago is said to have taken place here. The Austrian embassy was located in this house from 1927 to 1938 , after which it was used as a guest house for diplomats . Joachim von Ribbentrop lived here in August 1939 and Winston Churchill in October 1944 . Since 1955 it has been the Austrian embassy again.

Lazarew was a member of the Moscow Automobile Society and the art and literature circle around Valeri Jakowlewitsch Brjussow and Fyodor Ossipowitsch Schechtel . Lazarev's son was the art scholar Viktor Lazarev . Lazarev's niece married Ivan Wladislawowitsch Scholtowski . Lazarev was also related to Wassily Kandinsky .

After the October Revolution , Lazarev stayed in Moscow, gave up his business and did not build any more.
