This book is a continuation of a series of unique guides to the streets, squares, and embankments of St. Petersburg. Today we will talk about Rubinstein Street and the adjacent Graf and Shcherbakov Lanes. There are not many publications dedicated to them, yet their history is very interesting and connected with many generations of St. Petersburg residents belonging to different social classes, nationalities, and professions, who lived, served, or visited here: military personnel and officials, merchants and burghers, writers and artists, painters and architects... Before you, the stories of the fates of more than two hundred fifty well-known individuals will unfold, and the authors will try to uncover the secrets that the local houses hold. The origin of this small street, stretching for 700 meters from Nevsky Prospekt to the intersection with Zagorodny Prospekt and Lomonosov Street, dates back to the time of Empress Anna Ioannovna! At the turn of the centuries, Rubinstein Street was and remains one of the centers of the theatrical and musical life of the Northern capital. Today the street continues to live and develop, strolling along it, we feel as if we are in a European city with different architectures and cuisines of many countries.
