Description:
This isn't the Hades of history books. This is St. Petersburg, steeped in mystical literary tradition. A city of grandeur, vastness, and a sense of death. The sky offers no brightness; the Neva River seems like liquid lead. A heavy, oppressive air hangs over everything, and a chilling dread lurks, threatening punishment for an unknown transgression. Even the famed white nights feel bleak. It feels as though you might encounter the ghost of a poet, tormented at the age of thirty in any century past. Be wary of the monuments; they are said to wander the city quays, bringing luck (as Pushkin wrote). And don't trust the city's image. St. Petersburg is a phantom, evolved from a swamp and a haven for evil spirits. Brilliant St. Petersburg.
