Историческая справка

In 1933 mechanised Levashovsky bread baking plant was opened on Petrograd Side (Petrogradskaya storona).
The plant owes its circular shape to engineer Georgy Petrovich Marsakov who designed and implemented a unique vertical annular bread baking system: a circular rotating oven was installed in the centre, and bread came from the upper storeys into loading and storage facilities. The same principle was used in building of Kushelevsky bread baking plant. 
However, after all, Levashovsky bread baking plant went down in history not as a monument of architectural constructivism of the 1930’s with unique innovative production technologies, but because during the Great Patriotic War it provided the exhausted residents of Leningrad with bread. Its production lines were rebuilt to bake rye pan bread. The enterprise played a crucially important part in the life of the blockaded city not stopping its work for a single day. In cases of power outage the plant workers generated electricity with the help of manual drives.
In the 2000’s the plant’s production came to a decline, and in 2012 it was stopped. Since 2016 the building is owned by a developer that volunteered to restore this place of blockade commemoration and open public spaces inside.
