Rational homotopy methods are used for studying the problem of the topological smoothing of complex algebraic isolated singularities. It is shown that one may always find a suitable covering which is smoothable. The problem of the topological smoothing (including the complex normal structure) for conical singularities is considered in the sequel. A connection is established between the existence of certain relations between the normal Chern degrees of a smooth projective variety and the question of its realization as a linear section (not necessarily hyperplane).
