      • The quarter is one of the first in Leningrad built for Vyborg Side workers and a characteristic monument of Constructivism.
      • The design was chosen through a 1927–1928 competition for standard workers' apartments.
      • Besides apartment buildings of 60 flats each, a laundry, library, club, nursery and kindergarten were built here.
      • By the thinking of the time the apartments had no bathrooms: people were meant to wash at bathhouses and eat in canteens, so the kitchens are small too.
