Each building in St. Petersburg was in history - large, national or small, the history of the life and life of ordinary citizens. In one house there was a local printing house, in another-a spiritual salon, and in the third there was a tavern, where Nekrasov once expected his beloved. "Behind the facade: 25 letters about St. Petersburg and its inhabitants" - more than a book about architecture. This is a collection of stories about what the city’s life was in different eras. The authors of the publication, Alexei Shishkin and Elya Novopathennaya, prove that modern local history is not boring at all. After all, the most amazing plots are hidden behind the front facades. On the pages of this book, Leo Tolstoy and Joseph Stalin, general luxury and communal services, criminal past and atmospheric present are adjacent to the pages of this book. The authors "facade" offer to walk according to the traces of famous and almost forgotten heroes and learn a lot about the city and citizens. At the end of each story, the reader awaits "interesting facts", and somewhere-a selection of ideas for a walk "what to do here"
