(EN) When Indian summer comes to town and the autumn sun shines on the embankments of the Neva, roller skaters use the opportunity for long walks. The Kushelev-Bezborodko residential landing decorated by sphinxes was built by architect Giacomo Quarenghi in 1783-1784, before the wave of Egyptomania had swept over Europe.

(RU) Когда бабье лето приходит в город, и осеннее солнце освещает набережные Невы, роллеры используют эту возможность для дальних прогулок. Пристань перед усадьбой Кушелевых-Безбородко, декорированная сфинксами, была построена архитектором Джакомо Кваренги в 1783-1784 годах, до того, как волна египтомании захлестнула Европу.
