      • From 1920 to 1989 Kamenny was officially called the “Island of the Working People”.
      • According to legend, the island got its name from a huge stone that stuck out of the Neva by its south shore.
      • In 1765 Catherine II gave the island to Tsarevich Paul; the palace for him was built by Yury Felten.
      • In the Church of the Forerunner Kutuzov prayed for victory, and the Pushkins christened their children Natasha and Grisha.
      • The summer Kamennoostrovsky Theatre, designed by S. L. Shustov, was built in just 40 days.
      • Under Nicholas II the industrialist Putilov, the merchant Eliseev and Professor Bekhterev built dachas here.
