St.Petersburg is a great destination, offering not less than Paris or London. The historical center of St.Petersburg and some of the suburbs are on the UNESCO World Heritage list. St.Petersburg offers over 250 museums and is home to the world famous Kirov (Mariinsky) ballet.

Spasiba bol'shoye, Olga/Antonina! BTW, I should've mentioned that it was very late Soviet times (Chernenko) -- I'm not that old! :-)

Privet, David! St.Petersburg looks at its best now after major restoration works in recent years. Would be great to meet you here in 2011. Olga and Antonina, OLTON

Ya Sankt Peterburg lyublyu! I spent a summer studying Russian there years ago, and even then -- in Soviet times -- it was inspiring. I visited again during the Yeltsin era, and am very much looking forward to a third visit in 2011, to see what it has become today.
