House No. 11 will definitely catch your eye – and it will be difficult to immediately appreciate all the small details that richly adorn its design. The luxurious exterior of the facade clearly reveals Russian motifs.

The income house of the Russian architect Nikolai Petrovich Basin rises on Ostrovsky Square, in the historic center of Saint Petersburg. The architectural ensemble of the square is considered one of the highest achievements of urban planning art and was formed with the participation of Karl Ivanovich Rossi. Basin's income house stands out vividly against the backdrop of classical buildings and, according to some critics, brazenly and absurdly disrupts the surrounding established ensemble.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood — an Orthodox church, whose full name is the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, is located in the historic center of Saint Petersburg, on the embankment of the Griboedov Canal. It is a memorial to Tsar-Martyr Alexander II, who died at this site at the hands of terrorists.

On July 17, 1903, Emperor Nicholas II and his family visited Sarov for the celebrations of the glorification of Venerable Seraphim as a saint. And a year after this trip to Sarov and bathing in its spring, the Empress gave birth to the long-awaited heir, which explains the special attitude of Nicholas II and his family towards this saint. The decision to establish it was made by the Tsar after Empress Alexandra gave birth to the long-awaited son, having bathed in the Sarov spring. It was there that Nicholas learned about the beginning of the First World War.

The complex of buildings of the State Bank was constructed in 1911–1913 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Romanov Dynasty (which is marked by the dates "1613" and "1913" on its main pediment). This is the most prominent building on the main tourist street of Nizhny Novgorod, the second truly outstanding monument of our city after the Stroganov Church. Once, next to the bank, there was the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, which gave its name to Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street.

Maximov's dacha in the town of Lomonosov (Oranienbaum) on Krasnoflotskoye Highway, 16, is a federal architectural monument. A researcher of the architectural heritage of the Peterhof Road and Oranienbaum, Gorbatenko, wrote in his monograph: “The facades and even (a rare case) the interiors of the main building have largely preserved their historical architecture.” This house is a kind of “last of the Mohicans” of the extensive dacha heritage from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries along the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland.

In 1909, architect A. A. Bernardazzi, commissioned by gold miner Koltsov, built an income house on the corner of Officers' Street and English Avenue, which immediately earned the nickname "Fairy Tale House" among the people of St. Petersburg due to its appearance. A whimsical blend of various romantic styles — "Northern Modern" and "National Style," windows and balconies of fanciful shapes, a corner tower, walls clad in natural stone, and colorful majolica panels, believed by some experts to be based on sketches by Vrubel, allowed the author to create, against the backdrop of the ordinary buildings of old Kolomna, a magical spectacle reminiscent of a dazzling theatrical set. On the facade, sculptor Raush von Traubenberg carved from stone a Phoenix bird, which seemed to support the corner bay window of the "Fairy Tale House" on its wings.

Chernov's Dacha, or Sosnovka, is a monument of the architectural eclecticism period in the Nevsky District of Saint Petersburg, located on the right bank of the Neva River, above the Volodarsky Bridge, opposite the former River Station.
