Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the policies, legislative measures and tools for the renovation of the historic dwelling stock in Russian cities. The authors summarise the system of complex dwelling renovation in the historic centres of Russian cities, aimed at conserving the unique historic urban landscapes and enhancing the quality of the human environment. The paper describes and analyses: (1) current legal frameworks for the protection of cultural heritage; (2) system of protection zones of cultural heritage; (3) institutional interactions between state agencies for the protection of cultural heritage (at federal, regional and municipal levels), State Agency of Cadastre and municipal authorities; (4) legal relations between the participants of dwelling renovation programmes. The paper concludes that over the last decades state agencies have made significant progress. At the same time, integration and coordination of effort is a critical part of conserving urban heritage. Additionally, the paper discusses the next steps for future research.
