Kupchino: from the metro to parks and memory
A walk through a modern district: a metro station, parks, a movie theater, and the history of the streets
Stories along the route
Проспект Славы (станция метро) · 0.0 km
You are standing at the entrance to a station that seems hidden underground, yet bears the name of an entire avenue. Prospekt Slavy is not just a metro stop, but part of a big story that began quite recently.
Слава (кинотеатр, Санкт-Петербург) · 0.4 km
You're standing at a corner where life once bustled, and now only silence and the smell of smoke remain. This place is the former Slava cinema, and its story is the story of an entire era of Kupchino.
Улица Димитрова (Санкт-Петербург) · 1.6 km
You are standing on a street that bears the name of a man whose surname sounds like a thunderclap out of a clear sky.
Фрунзенский район (Санкт-Петербург) · 2.0 km
Вы стоите в самом сердце района, который назван в честь человека, чьё имя гремело в Гражданскую войну, — Михаила Фрунзе.
Парк Героев-Пожарных · 2.8 km
You are standing at the edge of a park that appeared where a very different story once unfolded. Imagine: until 2018, the clay quarries of the former Brick Factory gaped open here — deep pits filled with water.
Парк Интернационалистов · 3.6 km
Вы стоите на границе зелёного оазиса, который хранит память о совсем другой войне. Парк Интернационалистов — это не просто место для прогулок, а живой мемориал.
