7 th Rozhdestvensky street # 36.

I worked as an inspector of the Siberian Trade Bank.  I have checked and inspected the work of the various branches of the bank nationwide.
I have checked and inspected the work of the various branches of the bank across the immense territory of the Russian Empire. I traveled a lot too.
The great personal railway carriage was given for me. I traveled with my wonderful and beloved wife Anfisa.
This is my picture in the bank in 1913 and some pictures of the bank building and the bank premises on Nevsky 44 in St.-Petersburg in 1910 and now (2014).







                                                         This is my business card.
Anfisa and me lived in a huge apartment provided by the bank for me.  This apartment was on 7 th Rozhdestvensky street #36.
This apartment was in the wonderful Art Deco building. Some pictures of this building now (2014) is below.







These are photos of some elements of Art Deco style which are inside the building now (2014).

The apartment building # 19 on 5 Linija of Basil Island.

The low lavel of life and no education makes people fall into a depression and use of drugs now.
It takes much intersting in life of young boys and girls  to stop use of drugs and drug trafficking now.
Many walls and stairs  of this building are  painted with graffiti  now (2013).

The young people from  the surrounding houses  gather in this building and on the stairs of this building.
Many walls and stairs are  with graffiti. Some of them are below.


The front staircase of this building is above.
The fraffiti on the walls of this front staircase are below.



There are a large number of drug users in St.-Petersburg. The drug addiction is a big problem of the city and  there are a lot of ads and posters about drug users and drug trafficking in St.-Petersburg. I suspected that  drugs are trading in this  building too.

This is a sample of poster "All have  to fight with  drug trafficking!" on the front staircase of this building (May 2013).
The back entrance in apartment houses on Basil Island  in the beginning of XX century were used for delivering of firewood.  The back entrance is used for entering the rooms and dens now.
Some graffiti of the back entrance of the apartment building # 19 on 5 Linija of Basil Island in May 2013 is below.
