There was a man famous for his intelligence and excellent ability to write with an excellent style named Krempovsky, he was of short stature, stocky, plump, pockmarked, with an extremely narrow forehead and shiny brown eyes. In his rich house on the Petersburg side in the study, the walls were painted in seven colors, and all the things in his room were seven in number: seven candles, seven chairs, seven tables, etc.

A creative group from Vladivostok "33 + 1" depicted "locals" on the walls of houses of the Petrogradskaya district. A series of sgraffito (a special technique for creating wall images by scratching it on the plaster) is called "Residents of the Petrogradskay". Characters are based on the books by Michail Piliaev, who collected urban legends and anecdotes about people in XIX century.
