      • The passage was built by the merchant's wife Vera Firsanova, owner of the Sandunovsky Baths and the Serednikovo estate.
      • The design was by Sergei Kalugin and Boris Freudenberg, who also designed the Sandunovsky Baths.
      • The passage opened on 20 February 1906 and had more than fifty shopping pavilions.
      • The glass vaults are often attributed to Shukhov, but that is an urban legend: the structures were made by the Arthur Koppel firm.
      • Electricity for the passage's illumination came from a power station in the same Sandunovsky Baths.
      • In the 1930s Dirizhablestroy (the airship construction bureau) worked here, where the Italian designer Umberto Nobile served in 1931–1936.
      • The passage's auction hall is described in Ilf and Petrov's "The Twelve Chairs".
