The Memorial museum “Raznochinny Petersburg” has devoted it’s expositions to the lifestyle of «raznochintsi» - common people, who didn’t belong to the high society. Most of them were well educated people who made their livelihood from work. For example, students, professors, officials and merchants belonged to “raznochintsy”. In 18-th – 20-th centuries many of them settled the part of Saint Petersburg, limited by the Fontanka River, the Obvodny Channel, Zvenigorodskaya Street and Moskovsky Prospect. Among them was Vladimir Ulyanov, later the leader of the Russian revolution, who is best known under the pseudonym “Lenin”.
