It has been said that Quarenghi, due to his somewhat droll appearance, was the most frequently painted of architects. Giacomo Quarenghi (; ; 20 or 21 September 1744) was the foremost and most prolific practitioner of neoclassical architecture in Imperial Russia, particularly in Saint Petersburg. He brought into vogue an original monumental style, of Palladian inspiration, which was a reference for many architects who worked in Russia. He has been described as "the last of the great architects of Italy".

D. Shvidkovsky, p. 262 In those years Quarenghi was also busy, after the interventions of the Russian architect Karl Blank and Francesco Camporesi, to complete the Catherine Palace in Moscow (1790–1797). Quarenghi had built numerous palaces and brought into vogue an original monumental style, of Palladian inspiration, which was a reference for many architects who worked in Russia, among them Ivan Starov that, for the Prince Potemkin, created the Tauride Palace. The building, consisting of a main building and two adjoining wings complemented by side pavilions, in perfect adherence to the Palladian villa type, served as a model for innumerable manors scattered across the Russian Empire.

Stalin's political report dealt first with the international situation facing the Soviet Union, noting that "what seemed at first as if it were only to be a short breathing space after the war" had developed into an "equilibrium of forces" between the capitalist West and the Soviet regime — "a period of 'peaceful cohabitation' [мирное сожительство]Note that the precise expression used by Stalin ("peaceful cohabitation" — "мирное сожительство") differed from the term later brought into vogue by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, "peaceful coexistence" — "мирное сосуществование." between the bourgeois world and the proletarian world."Joseph Stalin, "Political Report of the Central Committee to the Fourteenth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (May 1925)," in Leninism.

She produced a number of dialogued scenes of the sort brought into vogue by Gyp and Henri Lavedan. They were written in a series of brief, incisive, ironical lines that characterized a person or portrayed a situation. Among the best of these were Vacances, Acquitté and Premier Jeudi. In her novels, Marni boldly and cruelly revealed the weaknesses, the cowardice and the sorrows of "eternal woman". The audacity of her dramatic efforts delayed the success of her first novels: La Femme (le Sylva), Amour coupable, Comment elles se donnent, Comment elles nous lz'lchent and Les Enfants qu’elles ont. She did not really succeed in winning her place as a novelist until the appearance of Le Livre d’une amoureuse and Pierre Tisserand.

Simtokha Dzong The Simtoka Dzong, built in 1629 by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, functions as a monastic and administrative centre and is the oldest dzong which has survived in its original form; Namgyal brought into vogue, for the first time in Bhutan, this concept of the "dzong" as castle monastery. An attack on the dzong was made by five disgruntled lamas in collaboration with an invading army of Tibetans who were against the Buddhist practices of the dzong under the control of Zhabdrung. They were defeated and Palden Lama who was the leader of the invaders died in the battle. Another attack on the dzong in 1630 by the Tibetans was successful for a while till part of the dzong caught fire and with the roof collapsing all the invading forces were killed.
