Legends and Myths of Nevsky Prospect

Naum Sindalovsky is a writer and local historian who managed to showcase St. Petersburg from a completely new perspective. His books have enamored many people with this city, reviving its legends and unveiling unique facts about the emergence of streets,... monuments, bridges, and parks. The book "Legends and Myths of Nevsky Prospect" is the story of the main street of the city, told through the names of its residents, folklore, and astonishing architecture. Each monument and house here keeps its own secret, its own legends. From the fortress city on Vasilievsky Island, which remained just a project, to the lost sculptures of the Admiralty; from the missing chandelier of the Eliseevsky store to the unbuilt "ground metro" – the past and future of Nevsky Prospect intertwine through the centuries, creating a unique picture of its present.
