Album 336
(Translated by
Pavel Sokolov)
Today we will visit Krestovskiy Island and see a few
post-revolution sport complexes and a couple of new apartment buildings
nearby.
| "Dinamo" sportcomplex (not
to be confused with the stadium at the end of the album). |
 |
| It is located at 16 Krestovskiy prospekt.
It was built in 1928 by architects O. L. Lyalin, Y. O. Svirskiy, U. V.
Muharinskiy, I. E. Rojin, U. V. Schuko. |
 |
| The signs say: "Boxing Gym"
"Heavy weight gym"
"LOS "Dinamo"
Management.
Hunting and Fishing Department" |
 |
| Next to the building there is a sports
ground which is part of the sports complex. The building behind it
also dates back to the soviet times, but I am not certain of its purpose. |
 |

Practice. The guy on the left has a
sign on his jacket "Dinamo". |
| Right across the street from the
buildings pictured above is a brand new apartment building - 13
Krestovskiy prospect. |
 |
 |
Even though the island is considered a
recreation area; the apartments here are so expansive and the demand for
them is so high, that despite all kinds of regulations, protests, and
public opinion intensive residential building construction continues. |
As is usual for buildings of this class,
there is a secure perimeter and video cameras.
The building is reminiscent of buildings in Finland, though I am told it
was built by OOO "Rosjilstroy". |
 |
 |
Another recently build apartment block
nearby. |
 |
"Dinamo" stadium at 44 Dinamo prospect.
By the way, this is a strange address. First, it is not quite on the
Dinamo prospect, second, on the map it is preceded by number 26. |
|
The signs on the memorial plaques:
"Here, on the "Dinamo" stadium
In the toughest days of the Nazi blockade
On May 31 1942 the Leningrad Dinamo
Playted a soccer game with the
Metal factory team." "Dinamo team: A. Alov, M. Atushin, A. Viktorov, V.
Ivanov, G. Moskovtsev, V. Nabutov, B. Oreskin, K. Sazonov, A. Fedorov, V.
Fedorov, E. Ukitin
Metal factory team: P. Gorbachev, N. Gorelkin, A. Zyablikov, I. Kurenkov,
A. Lebedev, B. Losev, G. Medvedev, A. Micshuk, I. Smirnov, N. Smirnov, A.
Fasenko.
Referee - P. P. Pavlov."

The stadium itself. Built in 1925 -
1934 by architects O. L. Lyalin and Y. O. Svirskiy.
Starting in 1965 the stadium was rebuilt by S. E. Evdokimov. |
| Another upscale apartment complex right
across from the stadium entrance. I wonder: was a similar building
standing here before this one was built, or was this simply designed to
look "antique". |
 |
 |
70 Martinova embankment. Srednyaya
Nevka is nearby, hence the word embankment. |
| This is clearly an old building. If we
are to trust the map, this is a territory of the institute or factory "PlastPribor". |
 |
One more thing about Krestovskiy island: the Kirov stadium (which is
inside a man made hill) is going to be demolished, and in its place a
modern stadium will be built. |
