Living in St. Petersburg: Overview

1703 marks the beginning of St. Petersburg proper, when Peter the Great regained dominance of Russia, and embarked on building his imperial city. St. Petersburg's subsequent name transformations, from Petrograd to Leningrad and back round again to St. Petersburg, reflect a modern era fraught with massive political shifts. Today, St. Petersburg's past still speaks as clearly as ever in the form of vast squares, quiet canals, and bold castles. While Piter's five million residents enjoy a rich mosaic of offerings built on both Russian and European influences, the dividing line between the two is never quite clear. As an expatriate, you'll have a front-row seat in one of the most complex and interesting cities on the Continent.
