“Petersburg Tales” are stories about Leningrad-Petersburg in the late 1980s–2000s. The protagonists of the stories are people of different generations and social strata — from an old pensioner and a former doctor spending their final years on Vasilievsky Island, to a worker from the late Soviet era and beyond, from the chief director of a dramatic theater to a bankrupt businessman who started from hustling at Gostiny Dvor.
