* In the central part of St. Petersburg, on Nevsky Prospekt, as well as the adjacent squares and streets, the bulk of monuments and architectural monuments are concentrated, through which thin threads pass, filling the city with semantic and artistic allegories. At the intersections of these threads - the conversation of the epochs, the "sayings" of rulers, architects, sculptors - they hold the city together from the inside, they also connect it with the world from the outside. Nevsky Prospekt itself is a kind of cross-section of the entire historical urban development, where the complex history of the city and the country floats before the eyes of the guests along with a story about various palaces, apartment buildings, government offices and cathedrals. The history of monuments is inextricably linked not only with those in whose honor they were erected, but also with those in whose time they were erected.
