Kronstadt. City fortress. From the foundation to the present day

Kronstadt is the legendary suburb of St. Petersburg. Nature itself created here all the prerequisites for the construction of the most important stronghold for Russia, but in order to see these prerequisites, the penetrating look of the first Russian emperor was needed. Peter I considered Kronstadt an integral part of St. Petersburg and attached tremendous importance to its development. The best architects of that time were involved in the construction of the city: Vasily Bazhenov, Domenico Trezini ... The Kronstadt fortress became a powerful defensive line that the enemies of Russia could not overcome in the XVIII, nor in the XIX, nor in the XX century ...
But Kronstadt is not only a fortress, forts, docks and port structures. These are people who created all this who lived in Kronstadt and made up his glory. The book of Leonid Amirkhanov will tell in detail the history of this amazing city and its inhabitants from the moment of founding to the present day
