Description
The history of Saint Petersburg in an engaging presentation by Mikhail Pyliaev!
From the Northern Palmyra’s days “when young Russia was strengthened by the genius of Peter” and up to the brilliant, aristocratic beginning of the 19th century.
The history of houses and palaces, parks and squares—and above all, the Petersburgers themselves, as they once were…
Vivaciously and energetically written, as critics noted already after the first publication. This audiobook is easy and captivating to listen to, while at the same time it contains a wealth of rare, little-known, and interesting facts that the author gleaned from long-lost, mostly private archives, testimonies of old-timers of Petersburg, and family traditions passed down from generation to generation since the founding of Saint Petersburg.
