on the Truba and the Grachevka
In the Maude translation of Leo Tolstoy's book The Kreutzer Sonata this phrase occurs:

'she is so on the Truba and the Grachevka, and also at the Court balls'

I've googled for both Truba and Grachevka, but can't find any information apart from a Truba electronic factory in India. And I don't have access to the Penguin Classic version of the book.

Can anyone tell me please what Truba and Grachevka are, or point me to a way to find out?

It appears to be in a footnote on google books: "Truba and Grachevka were streets in Moscow where numerous brothels were located."

Ah so the Russian equivalent of 42nd street in New York (from what I've heard).
