Pushkin's Petersburg, 1830
The imperial capital of the Romanovs, Saint Petersburg in 1830 is a city of new stone embankments, broad neoclassical squares and the Winter Palace’s low, ordered height. Walkers will pass the Bronze Horseman and the General Staff arch, thread Nevsky Prospect’s shops and bridges, and end where the Neva opens to the Gulf of Finland under the long white nights.
33 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of St Petersburg as it stood in 1830 (“Saint Petersburg”).
