On August 27, 153 years have passed since the birth of architect Sergey Iustinovich Solovyov. His most famous and beautiful building, his own house at the corner of Maly Rzhevsky and Khlebny Lane, was built in 1901-1902. Immediately after its completion, it was recognized as an outstanding contribution to the architecture of Moscow.

After Solovyov's death in 1912, the house was mortgaged and later purchased by artist Pavel Yakovlevich Pavlinov. In 1921, the building was nationalized and "densified." From the mid-1920s, it housed the representation of Georgia, and in 1960, Maly Rzhevsky was renamed Paliashvili Street. After the collapse of the USSR, it became the Georgian embassy, and currently, it serves as the "Section of Interests of Georgia" at the Swiss embassy.

Fans of Bulgakov sometimes refer to Solovyov's house as the "House of Margarita," suggesting that the heroine of his famous novel might have lived here. However, let's leave that without comment.
