And it was not for nothing that she topped the list of 60 items planned by the Germans to be exported from Pushkin! In the fall of 1941. The Amber Room was dismantled and taken to Königsberg, and then its traces are lost.
Does it remain forever in the undergrounds of Kaliningrad or is it kept in caves near Dresden, or rests at the bottom of the Baltic Sea …

Around the square
Palace Square is the heart of St. Petersburg, the place of the most significant historical events, the architectural pride of the city. The buildings of the Winter Palace and the General Staff building rival in beauty and style.
We all taught at A.S. Pushkin: “He ascended higher as the head of the rebellious Pillar of Alexandria.” The pillar is not only a masterpiece of architecture, but also high technologies of the 19th century, which made it possible to put a monolith weighing 700 tons in the center of the square …. As for Pushkin, he lived here, on Moika, 12, in his youth he visited the palace of Countess Golitsyna, (Millionnaya, 32), “princess nocturne”. He worked, walked, discussed the details of the duel at 25 Millionnaya Street. And the poet was buried in the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands at Konyushennaya. How many interesting and beautiful things are around the square! Grand Ducal Palaces: Marble, Prince Vladimir … Do you know where the “Last Palace” is and why this palace is called the last?
