The author slowly leads us along Nevsky Prospekt from the first house to the Moscow station and the Square of the uprising, simultaneously talking about the history of houses and their inhabitants. The book is full of fascinating adventures and tanks associated with the city on the Neva and specifically with Nevsky Prospekt. Approaching the passage, you will learn that once there was the house of the killed Pushkin Dantes and that the first owner of the same passage was a fragile inconspicuous woman who invented and embodied a difficult project at a time when the women with great difficulty found a job. You will read about the great spy of Klutochnikov, who once lived in house No. 96 and introduced by the People’s Volts in the third department, so that he reports on any movements of the police to revolutionaries-bombers ... There are a great many such stories in the book.
