With the municipality impulsion, the zabors (“fences”, in Russian) proliferate in the residential districts from Moscow. The biased fence protects the grass trampled; each parcel of land is now surrounded. [...] The zabor is indeed one of the historical foundations of the Russian urbanism. Moscou is a City-Fortress and the Kremlin wall is a “zabor” as well. Sergei Medvedev, professor at the School of Advanced Studies in Economical Sciences of Moscou (EHESE), has clarified the history and the particular meaning of the zabor in Russia in his conference named "Phenomenology of Zabor". He talked about the necessity of appropriating, determining and defending the immense space of Russian territory, but also about the political reality where the state controls a layered space, as he controls the inward-looking attitudes and the protection, often paranoid, of properties.
