Rotunda. Center for the Universe
In that area of St. Petersburg, where Dostoevsky settled his heroes, there is a strange house at 57 Gorokhovaya, or the embankment of the Fontanka River, 81. At first glance, it is no different from others: a regular green mansion, with columns, with a classic portico. But inside it hides a large round hall, decorated with six columns, with a dome and a screw staircase, called Rotonda. This city slides and changes names. This address has long been carefully erased.
