Историческая справка

Lopukhinsky Garden (Lopukhinsky Sad) in Petrogradsky District was known as Gromovsky, Alfyorovsky and named after Dzerzhinsky before its historical name was restored. The garden is located between the Malaya Nevka River, ulitsa Akademika Pavlova and Kamennoostrovsky prospekt. Since the beginning of the 19th century the territory of the garden was occupied by landscape park of Prince Petr Vasilievich Lopukhin’s dacha which stretched over the territory from the Malaya Nevka to modern-day ulitsa Professora Popova. In the middle of the 19th century the territory passed to Vasily Fedulovich Gromov, a timber merchant, patron of the arts and philanthropist, for whom a new dacha, orchard houses and a granite pier were built there by architect Aleksey Maksimovich Gornostayev. At his dacha Gromov accommodated a picture gallery and invited artists from Mariinsky Theatre to perform there. After the Conservatory was opened, thanks to Gromov poor students could make the dacha their home. Upon the timber merchant's instructions, the park also was redesigned: this time it had bridges, fountains, pavilions and grottos.
In 1920’s the former Gromov’s dacha was turned into the Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky Club of Soviet Trade Employees, and the garden was named after Dzerzhinsky as well. In 1930 a monument to the founder of the Cheka was erected in the garden. In 1938-1961 the Leningrad television studio worked on the garden territory. In early 1990’s the garden got its historical landscaping design back.

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.

Историческая справка

Development of Petrovsky Island began in the 19th century. Brothers Ivan and Nikolay Zhdanov were among the first to receive land plots there and built a chemical and apothecary factory which produced laundry blue, wood vinegar and birch tar oil. The Zhdanovka River got its name after the surname of these factory owners. Wooden bridges over the Zhdanovka existed since 1817. Old Petrovsky Bridge (Stary Petrovsky most) connected Petrovsky Island with Petrovsky Pereulok. In 1836 it was moved upstream. The bridge bore the names of Kadetsky and 3rd Zhdanovsky. Nowadays it is called Most Krasnogo Kursanta (Red Cadet Bridge). In the 1830’s the wooden 1st Zhdanovsky Bridge connected the dam of Tuchkov Bridge with Petrovsky Park. That bridge was dismantled by 1957. In 1939 Petrovsky and Petrogradsky islands were connected by the wooden five-span 2nd Zhdanovsky Bridge. After 1st Zhdanovsky Bridge was dismantled, the number disappeared from the name of 2nd Zhdanovsky Bridge. In 1983-1984 4th Zhdanovsky Bridge was erected at the point where once was the wooden Petrovsky Bridge, at the section line of Petrovsky Pereulok.

One of the youngest bridges of Saint Petersburg which has become an inseparable passage between Petrograd Side and Vasilyevsky Island got its name in honour of Augustin Augustinovich Betancourt, the famous engineer of Spanish origin. Born on Tenerife, Augustin Jose Pedro del Carmen Domingo de Candelaria de Betancourt-y-Molina began his career back in Spain where he, after many years of studying design and engineering of bridges and roads, was rebuilding the country’s transport routes and developed the system of visual telegraphy. Civil disturbances that started happening in Spain made Betancourt leave the country. He was invited to work in Russia in 1808. 
Since the very moment of his arrival at Petersburg August took part in virtually all construction projects of state importance. Having started with transformation of the country’s oldest ordnance factory in Tula, he introduced and improved the machines of Aleksandrovskaya Manufactory, built the arcade of Nizhny Novgorod Fair, the Moscow Manezh, took part in construction of bridges over the Neva (Kamennoostrovsky, Isaakievsky and others), supervised the technical part of construction of St. Isaac’s Cathedral together with Auguste Montferrand, developed the scaffolding system for installation of the 600-tonne Aleksander Column, and participated in many other projects. The heritage of Augustin Augustinovich Betancourt was not solely material, he also made an important contribution to the development of engineer education. Thus, the Railway Engineer Corps Institute was established in Saint Petersburg in accordance with his project.

At the end of the 19th century the territory on Kamennoostrovsky prospekt, which is currently known as Lenfilm Motion Picture Studio, belonged to merchant Georgy Aleksandrovich Aleksandrov. The Aquarium Garden (Sad Akvarium) was located here — in place of vegetable gardens which covered Petrograd Side back in those days. It was the place for holding different exhibitions, music events, performances of orchestras and choirs, and even the aerostat of the Technical Society got off the ground here. In 1891 an eponymous chamber theatre (the Aquarium) which hosted many celebrities was opened here. Fyodor Shalyapin, Leonid Utyosov, Maeterlinck’s Company, Ludwig Barnay, opera diva Lina Cavalieri, as well as many others, performed there. The first cinema show in Russia also took place at the Aquarium in 1896.
In 1922 the theatre was rebuilt into a film studio atelier for which different cinematographic cameras and film reels were ordered abroad. Cinematograph worked at house number 10 on ulitsa Krasnykh Zor until 1925, and shortly after that the Sovkino film studio, which was the predecessor of Lenfilm, moved there.
The motion picture studio received its name Lenfilm in 1934. Over the entire history it released over fifteen hundred films, many of which have become legends of the world motion picture industry. Chelovek-Amfibiya (The Amphibious Man), Zolushka (Cinderella), Starik Hottabych (Old Man Hottabych), Chapaev, Dikaya Sobaka Dingo (The Wild Dog Dingo) and many other motion pictures created by Lenfilm’s directors have become ingrained in our life.

An organisation called “Society of Former Pre-Revolutionary Political Convicts and Exiled Settlers” (Obschestvo byvshikh politkatorzhan i ssylnoposelentsev) (also known under acronyms “OBPKiS” and “OPK”) existed in the USSR in 1921-1935. The society members studied life and household of hard labour colonies and places of exile in pre-revolutionary times and carried out socio-educational activities. 
Such prominent revolutionaries as Vadim Aleksandrovich Bystryansky, Vera Nikolayevna Figner, Vladimir Anatolyevich Zhdanov, Vladimir Dmitrievich Vilensky-Sibiryakov, Anna Pavlovna Pribylyova-Korba, Ivan Adolfovich Teodorovich and many others were members of OPK.
The Leningrad unit of OPK was established in 1924. Offices of the Society, which initially had 122 members, were located at house number 24 on prospekt 25 Oktyabrya (Nevsky prospekt). The Society members conducted excursions at the Museum of Hard Labour Colonies and Exile, around revolution-related landmarks of Leningrad, and participated in creation of the museum in Schlusselburg Fortress (Shlisselburgskaya krepost).
In 1929-1933 the House of Society of Former Pre-Revolutionary Political Convicts and Exiled Settlers was erected on ploschad Revolutsii (Revolution Square) (now Troitskaya ploschad of Petrograd Side) upon the project of architects Grigory Aleksandrovich Simonov, Pavel Vasilyevich Abrosimov and Aleksander Fyodorovich Khryakov. This building in the style of constructivism became one of the first commune houses in Leningrad. According to the “new household” concept, a canteen was arranged in the house, but there were no kitchens. Besides, on the ground floor there was a 500-seat auditorium, a kindergarten, a museum, a library and a club. The building has an open delta shape and consists of three blocks, the main one facing the square. The second block faces Petrovskaya naberezhnaya, and the third one is adjacent to the other two at acute angles. 
By a twist of fate, a lot of former pre-revolutionary political convicts once again fell victim to political repressions. The house itself was subsequently rebuilt, the apartments were expanded and fitted out with kitchens, so the “new household” ideals had to be abandoned. However, some of the public spaces, such as kindergarten and, of course, the library remained in the house.

Kinetic Art (from the Greek word “kinetikos” — motion, putting in motion) is a trend of modern art representing a play of real movement effects in a work of art or its components. The main means of artistic expression in such works are motion and light. Kinetic sculptures are moving installations that play with sounds, colours, combinations of light and shade. For example, urban public space on the embankment of the Karpovka River now has a “Kinetic Forest” which interacts with the winds of Saint Petersburg.

Историческая справка

In 1806 a pontoon crossing site previously installed near Grenadyorsky Bridge was transferred to the location of the present-day Sampsonievsky Bridge. In 1822 that crossing site got its modern name after Bolshoy Sampsonievsky prospekt. 
In 1847 a wooden double-lock-framed thirteen-span pile bridge drawn in the second span on Vyborg Side (Vyborgskaya storona) was built in its place. The bridge was 242 metres long and 12.7 metres wide. Each drawing of the bridge was performed manually. During overhaul of Sampsonievsky Bridge in 1889 the number of its spans was increased to seventeen. The bridge length increased by 13 metres and width by 5.5 metres. The drawing span was moved to the middle of the bridge and cast iron posts with lamps were installed on the supports. By the beginning of the 20th century Sampsonievsky Bridge fell into disrepair, and a temporary wooden detour bridge across the Bolshaya Nevka with a drawing span was installed downstream. The old Sampsonievsky Bridge was dismantled and tram rails were laid across the new one. 
In 1923 the detour bridge got the name of Most Svobody (Freedom Bridge). In 1937 the bridge underwent an overhaul, wooden girders and lifting frames were replaced with metal structures. In 1955-1958 a modern Most Svobody (Freedom Bridge), which nowadays is known as Sampsonievsky, was built by Lenmostostroy Construction Group upon the project developed by Lengiproinzhproekt Design Institute. The project was developed, in particular, by Vladimir Vladimirovich Demchenko who previously participated in building of the Road of Life, as well as of Volodarsky, Obukhovsky, Ushakovsky and other bridges, and by Lev Aleksandrovich Noskov who previously built Obukhovsky, Dvortsovy, Semyonovsky and other bridges.
In early 2000s Sampsonievsky Bridge has undergone overhaul and in 2013, due to construction of a traffic interchange on Vyborg Side, the length of the bridge was reduced to 193 metres.
