Историческая справка

The infamous Badayev warehouses, or in other words warehouses named after Alexei Yegorovich Badayev, were a complex of wooden warehouses built in 1914 by a merchant of the 1st Guild Sergey Ivanovich Rasteryayev on a 27-hectare plot of land (Kievskaya ulitsa 5). 
Sergey's father, a merchant of the 1st Guild and hereditary honorary citizen, Ivan Sergeyevich Rasteryaev, opened his own business — a shot casting factory — on Chernigovskaya ulitsa, in an industrial area along the Moscow-Vindavo-Rybinskaya railway. In the same area in the 1910s, Sergey Ivanovich, who increased his father's capital, built a railway station belonging to the Nikolayevskaya railway. The station, which has made it possible to reduce the cost of transporting cargo to the warehouse complex, was named Rasteryayevo.
After the October Revolution in 1917, the factory was nationalised and the warehouse complex was used to store food supplies. In 1937, the warehouse complex was named after Aleksey Yegorovich Badayev, who was still alive and had been the chairman of the Petrograd Food Board and later Commissar of Food Distribution of Petrograd and the Northern Region, and later became Commissar for Food Industry of the USSR.
As a result of air raids by the German Luftwaffe on 8 and 10 September 1941, about 40 buildings in Badayev warehouses burned down, containing 3000 tons of flour and 2500 tons of sugar (according to the standards in force at the time, that was the amount of stocks for 1-3 days). Up to a thousand tonnes of burnt flour and up to nine hundred tonnes of burnt sugar were processed by food businesses. In the minds of Leningrad’s residents it was the fire at the Badayev warehouses that symbolised the beginning of the 1941-1942 famine, but although the fire was a significant tragedy, it was not the main cause of the disasters of the terrible autumn and winter of 1941-1942. Between 1945 and 1970, the Badayev warehouses were rebuilt.
