      • Pushkin's duel with d'Anthès took place on 27 January (8 February) 1837 near the Komendantskaya Dacha.
      • The Pushkins themselves rented a dacha in this area in the summers of 1833 and 1835.
      • The exact spot is disputed: second Danzas pointed it out in 1858, but contemporaries thought he had the wrong side of the road.
      • In the 1930s a broken column stood here, and for the centenary of his death in 1937 it was replaced by an obelisk by Lapirov and Katonin.
      • The bronze bas-relief of the poet on the obelisk was made by the sculptor Matvei Manizer.
