        • According to a popular version, the pond was called Pogany (Foul) because of butchers' waste, and in 1703 it was cleaned on Menshikov's orders.
        • Of several ponds, only one has survived to this day.
        • Nearby stands the Menshikov Tower of 1704–1707 by architect Ivan Zarudny; its top burned down after a lightning strike in 1723.
        • The monument to Griboyedov at the start of the boulevard was erected in 1959.
        • Since 1974 the Sovremennik Theatre has been housed in the building of the former Colosseum cinema of 1914.
        • The Annushka tram, route A, runs along the boulevard; in summer swans live on the pond.
