Pyotr Pavlovich Durnovo was Moscow's Governor General during the 1905 Russian Revolution. His dacha became the site of an anarchist occupation in 1917.[3] From 1881 to July 1917 he was the vowel of the Saint Petersburg City Duma (chairman from 1904). In the provincial zemstvo meeting, he was elected a member of the City Council, chairman of the Permanent Financial Commission of the City Council of St. Petersburg.
Durnovo lived in a family mansion on 16 Angliyskaya Embankment, owned the Durnovo Dacha on Polyustrovskaya Embankment, as well as apartment buildings adjacent to it (No. 13-15).
