Историческая справка
The Arsenal was founded in 1711 by a decree of Peter the Great as "Cannon Foundry Works". For the construction of a Foundry House the Emperor chose the spot on the left bank of the Neva river. Up until mid-19th century the industrial complex known as the Arsenal was located in Liteyny prospekt. It was moved to the Vyborg Side in 1850 and became one of the best utility industrial complexes of the Military Department.
The Arsenal was known to be a pet project of Nicholas I. In 1914 the plant was named after its founder. The same year the plant workers put up a monument to Peter I in front of the complex, the main works got a bust of Nicholas I, but both sculptures did not survive until today. Now the site of the monument to the founder of St. Petersburg Arsenal is occupied by a bust of Mikhail Frunze whose name the plant bore for more than half a century. Today the red-and-white buildings of OAO “Arsenal Machine-Building Plant” are considered a monument of industrial architecture.
