Mysterious Petersburg. Ghosts of the Great City
14.99 €
Peter the Great chose for this city an ominous place on the marshes and forbade "stone building" throughout Russia. All the stone went to St. Petersburg. And after only a few years, the center of Russian art and culture, science and technology, trade, industry and charity grew out of the usual military fortification in the Peter and Paul Fortress. It also became a city of military glory - the Swedes, the French and the Germans broke their teeth over it. The city with an amazing history and destiny. It is not without reason that St. Petersburg is associated with many myths and legends about mystical contacts with the otherworld. These are sometimes unimaginable, unexplainable historical facts about ghosts and prophecies that concern both ordinary people and crowned persons. What is worth, for example, the story of the stay in the capital city of the star trio of legendary mystics Cagliostro, Casanova and St. Germain? And the grim rumors about the eerie moans of the five hanged Decembrists, which are heard in the morning in the misty haze near the Kronverk? Or the memoirs of Alexander Pushkin, to whom a fortune-teller, practicing on Nevsky, predicted a quick and unnatural death... All this can be believed. And you can only sneer ironically. But the secrets and myths of the great city of Peter will remain with him forever, passed on from generation to generation.
