Kharkiv is becoming one of the largest economic centers of the country. Factors that have a direct impact on the economic growth of Kharkov are the development of the city as a transport hub, and the abolition of serfdom. Since 1858, “exemplary projects” have been abolished, architects and customers have complete freedom in choosing a style. Eclectic buildings appear in the style of pseudo-gothic, neoclassicism, in the “Russian” brick style and in the new “modern” style.
