Alferov Federal State Budgetary Institution of Higher Education and Science Saint Petersburg National Research Academic University of the Russian Academy of Sciences (abbreviated SPbAU RAS, also referred to as the Academic University or Alferov University) was founded in 1997 originally as the Research and Education Center of the Ioffe Institute to integrate science and education in the field of physics and information technologies. It has the distinction of being the only university in the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), which is composed primarily of national research institutes. Accordingly, the word "Academic" in the university's name stems from the Academy of Sciences, the organization that unites numerous national research institutes in Russia. The St. Petersburg Academic University was founded by Zhores Alferov, director of the Ioffe Institute, vice-president of the RAS Academician and Nobel prize laureate, who served as its rector until his death on March 1, 2019.

Ploshchad Muzhestva (Russian: Пло́щадь Му́жества, Square of Fortitude) is a station of the Saint Petersburg Metro. Opened on 31 December 1975. The station got its name because of its location next to the eponymous square (roundabout).

The Russian State Scientific Center for Robotics and Technical Cybernetics (RTC; Russian: ЦНИИ робототехники и технической кибернетики) is one of the leading research institutes in Russia. Located in St. Petersburg, it specializes in software and hardware development, and in robotics and technical cybernetics. Special design bureau for technical cybernetics was formed on the base of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University on January 29, 1968. In June 1981, the bureau was transformed into the RTC. RTC participated in the development of the soft landing control system for the spacecraft Soyuz and the robotic probe Luna 16. In 1986–1987, the institute created mobile robots for radiation reconnaissance and liquidation of Chernobyl accident consequences. In the early 1990s the institute participated in the development of the manipulator for the spacecraft Buran.

Akademicheskaya (Russian: Академи́ческая) is a station of the Saint Petersburg Metro. It is part of the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya line, located between the stations " Polytechnicheskaya" and " Grazhdansky prospect". It opened on 31 December 1975. The station is about 64 metres (210 ft) under the ground. The station's name was determined by the fact that there are a number of research institutes nearby, so a number of streets in this area were named according to the broad principle - glorify science and its figures. From July 30, 2018, to July 1, 2019, the station was closed for overhaul.

Bogoslovskoe Cemetery (Russian: Богословское кладбище) is a cemetery in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is located in the Kalininsky District of the city between Laboratornaya Street and Prospekt Mechnikov. The name comes from the church of John the Apostle, (Russian: Иоанн Богослов, Ioann Bogoslov), which from the early 18th century had a burial ground attached, mostly for those who died in the nearby military hospital. This site was some 2.5 km south of the present cemetery, at what is now the intersection of Arsenalnaya Street and Mineralnaya Streets. The church and cemetery were closed in 1788 and the land sold off into private ownership. In 1841 the city acquired a new plot of land for a cemetery, and named it after the previous one. In 1844, the Most Holy Synod approved the building of a new stone church, but no funds were available. In 1853-1854 a small two-storey chapel was built. In 1915–1916, a new wooden three-fronted church of John the Apostle was built at the cemetery to the design of architect Viktor Bobrov. The church was closed during the Soviet era, and finally looted and demolished in 1938, along with part of the cemetery, as it lay within an area closed off for military purposes. In Soviet times the cemetery became the burial place of many prominent scientists, cultural figures, and military officials. It was also the site of several mass graves of those who died during the siege of Leningrad. These are found in the northern part of the cemetery, marked by a hill topped with a small obelisk. In October 2000, a newly rebuilt wooden church of John the Apostle was consecrated.
