문화적 배경
In cities like St. Petersburg, 'зайти за угол' often leads you into a 'dvor-kolodets' (courtyard well), a unique architectural feature where buildings form a closed square. The 'corner' is a place of fateful encounters in Russian books. Raskolnikov in 'Crime and Punishment' is often described navigating these corners. In Soviet spy movies, 'зайти за угол' is the standard way to lose a tail or meet a contact secretly. With the rise of massive 'Chelovekniki' (giant apartment blocks), 'зайти за угол' can mean a 5-minute walk because the buildings are so long.
The Stress Shift
In natural speech, Russians often stress the preposition: 'зА угол'. It sounds much more native!
Don't use for cars
If you are driving, say 'повернуть'. 'Зайти' is strictly for pedestrians.
