In St. Petersburg, we will meet again...

The poetic image of St. Petersburg... What is it like? For many centuries, this city has been a source of inspiration for famous poets. For Anton Delvig, it is sparkling and cheerful, for Alexander Pushkin - majestic and strict, for Nikolai Nekrasov - comical and unhurried, for Alexander Blok - mysterious and silent, for Zinaida Gippius - cold and unshakable, for Anna Akhmatova - familiar and free. But it is always the same place, surrounded by a special aura. A window to Europe, the Northern Venice, the cradle of three revolutions, the city of white nights, or simply Peter. Petrograd, Leningrad, St. Petersburg - by whatever name poets have called their beloved city on the Neva in different periods of its history, from its foundation to the present day, it remains dear to the heart of everyone who has ever visited it.
