In the second part of the book "Behind the Facade", writers Alexey Shishkin and Elya Novopashennaya continue their fascinating study of the stories of St. Petersburg houses and their inhabitants. Readers will find 30 new letters with amazing stories that form a bright, sometimes gloomy, but always lively image of St. Petersburg. The authors rightly note: studying old buildings, we create an emotional connection with their history, so in this book, as in the first edition, the emphasis is not so much on the history of the houses themselves, but on their inhabitants. Here, writer Ayn Rand coexists with Bulat Okudzhava and Mike Naumenko, here the love story of a Siamese prince is intertwined with the destinies of the last Russian tsars and the first Soviet emigrants. And each story is accompanied by photographs and illustrations that immerse readers in another era and other lives.
