The book "What St. Petersburg Is Proud Of. Outstanding Residents of Russia’s Northern Capital" introduces the people of the city on the Neva whose names have forever remained in the history of Russia and the world.

The pages bring together heroes from different eras: writers and poets, artists and musicians, scientists and travelers, emperors and brave explorers.

Once, they too were ordinary boys and girls — studying, dreaming, searching for themselves, and not afraid to try something new. Their stories may inspire you to achieve great things as well!

From this book, you will learn:
• Who used hypnosis in treatment and invented a well-known soothing mixture.
• Which girl dreamed that Leo Tolstoy would rewrite the ending of "War and Peace."
• In honor of which female writer candies and perfume were produced.
• Which ballerina became famous throughout the world by performing 32 fouettés in a row.
