        • The passage was cut through in the 1870s by the brothers Pavel and Sergei Tretyakov, founders of the Tretyakov Gallery, to shorten the way from Nikolskaya to Teatralnaya Square.
        • The gate in the style of the Kitay-gorod fortress wall was built by the architect Alexander Kaminsky, the Tretyakovs' son-in-law.
        • The passage was private: it was opened by day and locked at night.
        • Since the 2000s it has housed boutiques of the most expensive brands, and the passage itself became pedestrian.

        • 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".
