I chose these houses not by chance. They were built by two of the largest architects of St. Petersburg of the late nineteenth - early twentieth centuries. These people built dozens of houses, temples, state buildings in the city. And the Soviet government got rid of both of them. In 1918, Nikonov died, and Lidval was forced to flee to Sweden so that he would not be shot. And that's probably all you need to know about this country.
