In the 15th century, Sergius of Nuroms lived, a Greek by birth, who came to Vologda in order to become a student of Sergius of Radonezh.

October 20, 714 Peter I by his Decree banned stone construction throughout Russia, except St. Petersburg

According to the king’s calculation, having lost their work, the masons will be forced to come to Petersburg and build a city. The new capital of Russia was to equalize in beauty and sophistication with the best cities in Europe. Peter 1 issued a decree on the fact that for 11 years Petersburg did not advance at all, but resembled, all the same, the construction site as at the beginning of construction. Peter's dream did not come true to the end - the problem was not the availability of artisans, but that the brick factories could not cope with the huge load. Some cunning craftsmen deceived the king by building wooden houses and, lining with a thin layer of clay, painted "brick-like". A house finished in this way could only be distinguished by close examination. Sometimes painted bricks looked more attractive than real ones. Upon detection of fraud, the culprit mercilessly punished.
