the special issue of the magazine "Winter"
In the special issue of the magazine "Winter" we show the English house from its most diverse sides, and first of all - through the optics of an emigrant.
Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people from the former USSR have moved over the past thirty years to permanent residence in the United Kingdom from a variety of places, with different cultural backgrounds and often diametrically opposed financial opportunities. And despite all the differences, many were able to find their own type of English fortress - their English house.

English House Magazine - About Houses and People
Among our heroes will be collectors settling into baronet estates, and a programmer living on a boat. There will be those who tried to reincarnate as Englishmen, learned to use a poker for the fireplace and not to turn on the heating in winter, and those who managed to rebuild Grade I Listed Buildings to suit their taste. The reader will visit a traditional Victorian house and a new apartment with a view of the Thames. He will learn about the delights of life on a farm in Devon and the shortcomings of Victorian buildings in Kensington.
What else will be inside:
1
A complete guide to London's neighbourhoods, with expert advice and editorial recommendations;
2
Ideas and routes for walks and trips around London and England;
3
Instructions from lawyers, realtors, architects and interior designers -
everything you need to know about buying, building and renovating a house.

"The English House is the territory of a great myth. Even those who have never been to England and have not seriously studied the specifics of everyday life, gastronomic and aesthetic culture of Great Britain, have their own idea about this myth.
And no wonder. After all, it was the English who came up with the concept of "My home is my castle", also known as "Home, my sweet home". It was in the island tradition that the concepts of security, intimacy, fairy tales, comfort, order and reliability reached their maximum embodiment.
Like any myth, the myth of the English house has no exact time reference and applies equally to both the castles of William the Conqueror and the concrete apartments in the style of late brutalism."
