The view up Old Street ends with the white Holy Gates of the Convent of the Deposition of the Robe standing on the most elevated point in the town across a shallow gully. Here again we have a fine example of the Suzdal architects' feeling for overall composition and the relationship of each building with those around it and the town as a whole.

Most specimens of early Russian architecture are ano­nymous like the old folk songs and epics. Just as story­tellers learnt their art from their fathers and grand­fathers, so the early Russian architects passed down their skills from generation to generation. Beginning way back in the distant past architecture gradually de veloped over the centuries accumulating the experience of successive generations. It is not until the seventeen! century, when feudalism was beginning to disintegrate in Russia, that we increasingly come across the names of individual architects, indicating a growing recognition of the value and importance of the creative artist for his own sake. The old traditional way of life survived longer in Suzdal than in other large towns and we do not even know the names of the architects of some eighteenth-century buildings. We do, however, know the names of three late seventeenth-century architects who nearly always worked together - Ivan Mamin, Andrei Shmakov and Ivan Gryaznov. They were the builders of the Convent of the Deposition of the Robe and quite pos­sibly belonged to its serfs.
