Petersburger leads a blog about secret attractions

Petersburger Daria Griboedova leads a blog on Instagram, in which she talks about secret city attractions. There you can find out what is hidden behind one of the arches of the metro station "Alexander Nevsky Square" and read the history of the construction "Lakhta Center".

In the account “Channel Griboedov” there are photos of buildings, streets, roads, metro stations and even wastelands from different parts of St. Petersburg. In signatures to the pictures, the author describes what mysterious details are hidden behind the objects familiar to the eye.

Petersburger tells why the base of the “Lakhta Center” is designed in the form of a pentarannik - initially they wanted to build it on the Nyanshants Fortress, and where the death river “flows”.

The blog posts photos of monuments, the existence of which Petersburgers and guests of the city may not even be aware. Daria writes about the “Monument without a Monument” on the embankment of the Fontanka River - earlier there was a bust of Alexander II. He was demolished by the Bolsheviks, sparing the pedestal.

In addition, from the blog you can find out what is hidden behind one of the arches of the metro station “Alexander Nevsky Square”, and where there was the so-called drunken harbor of the Gulf of Finland, covered in the 1980s.
