Petersburg is more than a city. The book you are holding in your hands is more than just stories of houses. These are whole lives, eras, memories.
This is a book about everyday life in not the most famous, but certainly interesting houses in St. Petersburg and Leningrad: from the apartment building of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra to the constructivist housing estate on Traktornaya Street.
Twenty-five houses of St. Petersburg and people whose names are associated with these houses are the heroes of this book.
Through the fates of residents and architects, facades and interiors, we tell the story of the city as a whole: tragic, happy, important, curious - different.
This book is the result of the collaboration of three inspired individuals. Yulia Galkina is the editor of The Village. Petersburg”, Maxim Kosmin is the author of a popular blog on Instagram, nominated for the TOP 50. The most famous people of St. Petersburg award. And also a photographer - Anton Akimov, who shoots on film and conveys the unique atmosphere of the time. Together they walked around their hometown, collecting memories of residents, old photographs and archival documents, explored attics, balconies and front doors.
