Every city begins with the laying of its foundations: houses, roads, and workers' barracks, which later become a historical and tourist center. The foundation of St. Petersburg is the Petrogradskaya Storona district. Emerging near the walls of the Peter and Paul Fortress, this part of the city combines the bustle of the business center with the tranquility of leafy streets, the classical architecture of the Russian Empire with the boldness of the Soviet avant-garde. The district preserves features from every century of the northern capital's existence: the first apartment buildings, the "island" dachas of aristocrats, the whimsical forms of Art Nouveau, and the austerity of factory buildings.

This book can become your personal guide to the Petrogradskaya Storona, revealing how it became a center of scientific, cultural, and social life, and discovering a St. Petersburg often overlooked by tourists.

The Petrogradskaya Storona is a true treasure for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Venice of the North.
