Many thanks Vladimir for this amazing news! Do you have the ISBN number? Are there photographs? Do you know if the Pavlovsk State Museum Reserve are translating an English edition in the future and/or negotiating foreign rights?

Last room of this exhibition gives some information about the project of The Lower Dacha restoration.
Further to Vladimir's posts, there is an article in Russian on this restoration with one photo of the ruins and another with a rare view of the Lower Dacha c1910:

The museum "Tsarskoe Selo" is planning to start the restoration of the pavilion the Turkish Bath in the Catherine park. The Turkish Bath (http://eng.tzar.ru/catherine_park/landscape/turkish_bath) was built by architect Ippolito Monighetti in 1850-1852. The pavilion was destroyed during WWII.
