One of Mayakovsky's first residential addresses in Petersburg was the furnished room house "Palais-Royal." In 1913, when the poet had just turned 20, he moved into room 126 of the hotel. It sounds better than it actually was—in memories of the house on Pushkinskaya, bedbugs were most often mentioned; the "palace" rooms were single-room and identical. From here, the poet often wrote letters to his mother asking her to send him money. And it was here that nineteen-year-old Besstuzhevka Sofya Shamardina came to Mayakovsky, in whom Korney Chukovsky and Igor Severyanin were in love. "A small room with ordinary hotel furnishings," she recalled. "A table, a bed, a sofa, a large oval mirror on the wall."

To be closer to his beloved, he moved to an apartment on Nadezhdinskaya Street. But it is from this very apartment at Mayakovskogo, 52 that he will call and say: "I'm shooting myself, goodbye, Lilik." Then the gun misfired.

The Brikis lived on Zhukovsky Street. The large six-story building No. 7/9 belonged to Glikeria Grigoryevna Kompaneyskaya, a hereditary noblewoman and the wife of a sworn attorney (“All Petersburg” in 1915). Apartment No. 42, which the Brikis rented after recently arriving in Petrograd, was located on the top floor of the courtyard wing but also had a main entrance from the street. The apartment consisted of three small rooms with windows facing the courtyard, a spacious square hallway, and a long corridor at the end of which was the kitchen.

In the early days of September 1915, Mayakovsky was drafted into the army.

To firmly establish the union of the cubo- and ego-futurists, it was decided to publish a joint collection. The compilation and the drafting of the manifesto titled "Go to Hell" took place daily at the artist of the "Youth Union" Puni's place.

On November 30, 1912, the first public performance of Vladimir Mayakovsky took place in the "artistic basement" of the "Stray Dog."

Summer of 1918 Mayakovsky and the Briks spent it at a dacha in Levashovo. They had left the city because of the cholera outbreak. The company entertained themselves with mushroom picking and playing cards. It was there that Mayakovsky wrote *Mystery-Bouffe*. The residents rented entire dachas or individual rooms in houses and specially built boarding houses. One such boarding house was the dacha at 8 Chkalov Street, officially addressed as 7–9 Sovetskaya Street, building D. Today, the house is known as the "Mayakovsky Dacha" — despite the fact that the poet never owned it. He spent only one season there.

"I am a cheeky fellow whose greatest pleasure is to barge in, wearing a yellow sweater, into a gathering of people who nobly preserve modesty and decency under their proper tailcoats, frock coats, and jackets." (Mayakovsky)
