Black and white Petersburg. Notes of the Kolomensky damn

A collection of stories from the Black and White Petersburg series organically complements and continues the history of the infernal city, once already written by Denis Smekhov.
New literary horror stories on the face of the devil, the inhabitant of Kolomna, tell about the back of the townspeople. Why is her unsightness fascinating readers? ..
The city can be explored endlessly, plunging into the splendor of palaces and museums, or plunging into the marsh tina of communal services and Khrushchev. Before you is a hooligan and a true book together - a short excursion into the world of black and white everyday city. He is, what is actually, accommodating communalists, palaces, garbage urns and unique monuments. The heart of the Northern Palmyra beats in parallel to the brilliant-radiant and black and white rhythms for centuries. The collection of Denis Smekhov amazes the truthfulness of the description of the black and white side of the existence of Leningrad and St. Petersburg. Despite the "territy" of stories, the author managed to literally "pierce" their love and strange touching tenderness. The author obviously does not welcome his characters, but convincingly proves the strength and truth of each of them. It turned out a sort of noir in traditions and classical and absurd Petersburg literature. A separate part of the book is made up of historical stories about the young Petersburg of Peter"s times, presenting the updated version about how it all started here and why Petersburg is not the same as other Russian cities
