Petersburg yesterday and today: photo album

Before us is an incredible tour of St. Petersburg. Archival photos are adjacent to today's pictures, so everyone can see firsthand what changes have occurred in the guise of the Northern capital and its inhabitants over the past century. Here is the German embassy, ​​from the roof of which two huge bronze Teutons, leading about horses, have not yet disappeared, and here it is with a naked roof. Here are the types of the embankment of the New Holland - with high sprawling poplars and without them. But the monument to Glinka at the Mariinsky Theater, which was mysteriously moving abroad of the window... The brilliant Petersburg is captured here with love and reverent attention to its living transformation, which is why the cold splendor of the city in his eyes becomes warmer.
