🏛 Five Corners (Pyat Uglov)

An intersection where five streets meet; the corner is guarded by a house with a tall tented turret.

The intersection of Zagorodny Prospekt, Razyezzhaya, Rubinstein and Lomonosov streets has existed since the 1760s.
The house with the turret was built in 1913–1914 to a design by the architect Alexander Lishnevsky.
Lydia Chukovskaya and the physicist Matvey Bronstein lived in the house with the turret, and Anna Akhmatova often visited them.
In 1800 the Commercial School — Russia's first school for merchants' children — moved into the house at the corner of Zagorodny and Lomonosov.
Five Corners is mentioned in Dostoevsky's The Idiot and Crime and Punishment, and in Vysotsky's song “A Little Voice from Leningrad”.
