In the 1920s–1930s the State Academy of the History of Material Culture, following in steps of the Imperial Archaeological Commission, continued active works in Central Asia. By the order of the Academy, the architect Nikolai Mikhailovich Bachinsky worked in Central Asia in the 1930s, but his name is barely mentioned in publications devoted to the Academy activities, and the materials he collected were published only partly. The Scholarly Archive of IHMC RAS stores documents relating to his research activity, manuscripts of papers and unique photographs of a number of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan monuments taken in the late 1920s–1930s (fig. 3–6). The publication of these materials will allow to introduce into the scientific discourse the works of an authoritative architect and restorer, whose activity was highly esteemed by his contemporaries.
