Classical History

• The history of buildings on Volkhovskiy pereulok is a bright case reflecting the cultural panorama of Saint Petersburg, its architectural styles and remarkable personalities.
• Savva Yakovlev, Russian millionaire, owner of Ural mines and iron works, had built its first stone mansion on Volkhovskiy pereulok, 1  in 1770 – 1780.  He didn’t like the baroque style, popular during the reign of Catherine II, having preferred the dawning classicism.  
• In 1796 the heirs of Savva Yakovlev erected the stone 3-story building at the neighboring area. In 1806 two buildings were united in one. 
• After the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 the mansions were nationalized. First, they hosted a hospital, then a military unit, in 1923 – Museum of Moribund Cult. The Museum collected icons, churchware, books withdrawn from closing churches and cathedrals of St. Petersburg.
• In 1928 both buildings were given to the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Since 1935 they hosted the Institute of Cements, its development and technical departments, laboratories and workshops. Unfortunately, all this along with water leakages damaged significantly the historical interiors.    
• In 1996 St. Petersburg Administration handed over the buildings to St. Petersburg University specifically for the purposes of the faculty of management.
