The first tattoos of the city and the "color of the St. Petersburg bottom"
Now the stories of St. Petersburg houses and their inhabitants can be listened to in the joint project “Voices” and “Paper” . Ten addresses are exposed on the map of St. Petersburg, and the authors of our newsletter - local historian Alexei Shishkin and journalist and linguist Elya Novopashenny, are voiced.
You can listen to audio guides here . And we tell you what awaits you in the audio project.
How the project appeared
“ Voices ” is a project of a photographer and a guide to Mitya Ganopolsky with audio guides in St. Petersburg, launched during the Pandemia of Coronavirus. Now the site has ten routes to various city locations: the Petrograd side, New Holland, Kolomna and other places. Some routes are devoted to certain topics - for example, the monuments of the Leningrad avant -garde.
The authors of routes are guides and local historians. They voiced audio guides with their voices: for example, Sofya Lurie told about Kolomna. During the preparation of the route along Sevkabel Porto, Ganopolsky met with Alexei Shishkin, the author of the “Paper” newsletter with the stories of St. Petersburg houses . Then the creator of the Voices came up with the idea of a route for its reasons.
- For a long time I have been signed to the newsletter of “paper” with stories of St. Petersburg houses. Last year, I first recorded the direct speech of Alexei Shishkin for the Voice. Then I thought: "How Lesha sounds great and how good its materials are suitable for the project." I suggested actualizing the mailing archive with the votes of its authors, and everyone immediately agreed. The perfect coincidence!
What houses are the authors talk about
For the route, ten locations were selected based on the newsletter : for example, the building on Gorokhova, 24 , inside of which the first tattoo-satuel of St. Petersburg was opened, and the residential building of the cooperative “Foreign Drummer” , in which the Germans, the Finns and Hungarians, who helped to conduct industrialization in the USSR.
- We took only those stories that were not publicly published anywhere except the newsletter. That is, they were neither in the book “ Behind the Facade ”, nor in the promoteriales. In addition, these are the most diverse houses: there are buildings in the style of modern, a little Soviet time, and the color of the St. Petersburg bottom. We also preserved geographical diversity: Vasilievsky Island, Petrograd side, center. That is, we did not build a single narrative, but tried to make it as diverse as possible.
The buildings are located in different areas of the city - for example, one of the audio guides is dedicated to the former Flower Railway station on Novoroshchinskaya Street. This station only once-in March 1918-accepted passengers: Vladimir Lenin, Nadezhda Krupskaya, Vladimir Bonch-Bruevich and their associates.
For the Voice project, those issues that both authors of the newsletter worked were selected: both Shishkin himself and Elya Novopashenny. They voiced guides: each of the authors took topics in the creation of which he made a greater contribution.
Listen all at once or in parts
You can hardly visit all the points of the project in one day, although theoretically it is possible (let us know if you master it!). The authors talk not only about specific houses - from audio guides you can find out how the St. Petersburg railway junction was at the beginning of the 20th century, where the suicide was buried 100 years ago and why Sadovaya Street received such a name.
“Someone will get acquainted with the materials in advance, someone will try to listen to our stories, standing in front of the hero’s house, and someone will turn on audio after a walk,” said Elya Novopashennaya, co-hosting newsletter.
- I would say that “voices” should be used in the same way as our book “behind the facade”: to study pieces, by mood. Rather, as an encyclopedia or reference book than as a book or podcast, which is listened to from and to. Personally, in the project I am very pleased with the interaction of content and format. I myself constantly listen to the podcasts when I walk around the city, and the “voices” give the opportunity to listen to what you see, and plunge into the city even deeper.
