Petrogradskaya Storona is one of St. Petersburg's most paradoxical neighborhoods, where bourgeois modernism coexists with revolutionary memory, and legends seamlessly intertwine with historical truth.

This book explores the myths and hidden stories of Petrogradskaya Storona: the homes of ballerinas and grand dukes, the mysticism of the Silver Age, artists and poets, and the "Ghost of the Revolution" who still haunts the neighborhood's streets. Here, Mephistopheles smiles from the façade of a tenement building, prophetic dreams are had, fateful decisions are made, and dreams of flying to Mars are born.

Through architecture, urban legends, and the lives of people, the author portrays Petrogradskaya Storona as a living space where the past never fades but continues to speak to those willing to listen.
