      🏛 Major Kovalyov's Nose

      Вознесенский пр., 36а (дом Челищева, на фасаде)

      The marble nose from Gogol's story "The Nose" on the facade of a house by the Fontanka.

      • The nose was installed in October 1995 on the Chelishchev house; the authors are Rezo Gabriadze and the architect Vyacheslav Bukhaev.
      • The nose has gone missing from the facade more than once, but was always put back.
      • In Gogol's story the barber Ivan Yakovlevich, who found the nose in a loaf of bread, lived on Voznesensky Avenue.
      • Petersburg has three monuments to Major Kovalyov's nose.
