Abstract:Every year the awareness of the importance of architectural acoustics grows, its significance and popularity grows. So among the many interests of architectural acoustics, in recent years, "acoustic reconstruction" is gaining considerable popularity. This way we can study the evolution, culture and art, theater and architecture of ancient society by architectural acoustics. Thus, some papers have already been carried out on the acoustic reconstruction of the theaters of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece. However, the "acoustic culture" of the Slavic countries is not still enough reconstructed and studied. Ancient Russian cities had their public spaces, which also used to be as local forums for gathering “veche”. Veche is a popular assembly in ancient and medieval Slavic states. The veche was represented by various city classes. From an acoustical point of view, it was necessary to provide sufficient volume for the speakers and good intelligibility for the audience. Obviously, buildings around the square, fortress walls and other structures influenced the acoustic environment. The particular interest is that the squares are surrounded by a large number of churches and bell towers. Acoustic models were performed for squares to calculate the main acoustics parameters of the space. Full-scale acoustic measurements were carried out.
