Афиша концерта «Король и Шут»
THE ERA OF CINEMA AND CONCERT HALL
The famous Soviet architect Alexander Gegello rebuilt the church into the Spartak cinema, where foreign films were shown
The cinema "Spartak" was the only Gosfilmofond cinema in Leningrad, here you could see films from the capitalist countries
The cinema shared the building with the faithful - the Lutheran community of St. Anne resumed Sunday services
The niche for the altar was rebuilt for a flat screen, the lower level of the balconies was removed, leaving only the upper gallery, the organ was taken to the Radio House

At concerts in Annenkirche, the groups "Korol i Shut", "Grazhdanskaya Oborona", "Leningrad", "NOM" were performed. And once a quiet prayer hall became a dance floor for discos
On the 1st floor of the building there was a tattoo parlor, records of your favorite rock bands were sold, here you could also buy cocaine or even harder drugs relatively cheaply
