Lokhtina had been his admirer since 1905 when he cured her of a hazardous disease. Lokhtina was the editor of G. E. Rasputin's book "Pious Thoughts" published in 1912 in Saint-Petersburg and carried out many secretarial duties for him. She seldom went out because of her mentally unhealthy condition. Viktor Viktorovich Sobolev (1915-1999) lived in the house 104 on the Moyka river. He was a Russian and Soviet astrophysicist, an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1981), the founder of Leningrad astrophysicist school, the author of the famous Course of theoretical astrophysics, a Hero of Socialist Labour (1985), a bearer of the Order of Lenin and a bearer of two Order of the Red Banner. Judging by the aggregate contribution to emission transfer analytic theory, V. V. Sobolev and his school are beyond comparison in the world of astrophysics. V. Sobolev not only made a fundamental contribution to each of the main partitions of that theory, but also was at the origins of five of those partitions. V. Sobolev lectured and headed the astrophysics sub department at Leningrad State University (Saint Petersburg State University). His monograph "Moving Sidereal Covers" (Leningrad State University publishing house, 113 pages) became the classics of theoretical astrophysics. Simultaneously V. V. Sobolev worked on a voluntary basis at the Astronomical observatory of Leningrad State University as director. After that he was the head of the astronomy Branch of the department of mathematics and mechanics of Leningrad State University. Due to his efforts, one succeeded in reforming the astronomy Branch of Leningrad State University to Astronomical Institute. Nowadays Astronomical Institute of Saint Petersburg State University bears the name of V. V. Sobolev. Till 2001 the house 104 on the Moyka embankment was on the books at the State Control, Usage and Protection of historical and cultural artifacts Committee. The house was "in the list of newly discovered objects of historical, scientific, artistic or other cultural value" and was in the United protection zone of central districts of Saint-Petersburg. In 2001 the house was struck off the list. In 2015 (the Year of Literature) an application was made to the Committee about including the house 104 on the Moyka embankment – as having features of a cultural heritage object – in the United State Register of cultural heritage objects (historical and cultural artifacts) of peoples of the Russian Federation and about setting a memorial plaque on the house.
