I often cut a corner through the Passage when I want to quickly get from Deribasovskaya to Soborka (Cathedral Square). I like the Passage - it is light, light, weightless. The abundance and detail of the modeling delights not only people, but also the pigeons living here. Unfortunately, the latter, unlike representatives of the human race, do not know how to restrain their emotions and crap with delight right on the heads of gypsum cupids: Thanks to the efforts of pigeons and cheap paint, it acquires its "usual" shabby look. But the Passage is still beautiful despite the fauna and the financial crisis. Ah, those Diana and Hermes with the faces of "Aunt Sonya" and "Emik"! Ah, those mosaic ceilings with gilding (and after all, not a single tile has fallen off for more than a hundred years)!
And this authentic wooden carpentry in the wide windows of shops - well, isn't it beautiful? : )
