Globalization is understood today as an "international process on a global scale related to investments in financial markets brought about by technical modernization" (Smirnov, 2002). Some authors also distinguish three related aspects of globalization: economic, cultural and political (Short and Kim, 1999). The use of the term “globalization” in Russia began in the early 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The most frequent question in recent Russian sociological literature: is globalization a phenomenon only of the 20th and 21st centuries or have there been processes of globalization in the history of culture? (Prosersky, 2003). In Russian history the most visible cultural globalization was linked to the adaptation of Orthodox Christianity and Byzantine culture in the 10th century AD. Byzantine traditions in gardening were most influential in Moscow's Hanging Gardens and monastery gardens (Ignatieva, 1997). During the era of Peter the Great (early 18th century) the "global" European princes in the fashion of French formal gardens (the symbol of absolute monarchy) were adopted. Peter's famous paradigm of the “open window to Europe” and the foundation of a new capital (St. Petersburg) is a classic example of Russian integration into the “global” European culture and economy. “Proletariat” culture with its unique architectural language of the landscape of large public parks for recreation and rest (“parkiculturi i otdicha”). It was a new type of public park, which aimed to be a “cultural complex” with a multifunctional program (and the related zoning of a territory) that included sports, cultural and political education of communities (Bogovaya, Fursova, 1988 ). The new Soviet society needed such large public parks that could accommodate thousands of people and give them the opportunity not only for recreation, but also for sports and large events (political meetings and large shows), "something like a huge club under the sky" (Kochno, 1986). , 1985). Most of this Russian-Soviet landscape typology was used as a model in many Eastern Bloc countries. At the end of the 20th century the process of globalization was seen in Russia as a process of Westernization and Americanization (Duquenne, 2006). In Russian sociological literature, Westernization is identified as the imposition of Western social and economic development, ideology, and culture on non-Western countries. Most Russian authors also believe that Westernization in Russia is touching all spheres of life, not only in politics and economics, but also in ideology and culture (Zinoviev, 1999). Russia's integration into the capitalist market economy was proceeding very rapidly and had its own peculiarities. Russian society was divided into two very unequal parts: a small percentage (5%) of the very rich (“New Russians” or “Russians”
