Since 12th century Moscow has been the center of the Russian Empire. St.-Petersburg, Russia's pride, a museum and a world in itself, was created by contrast out of nothing but will of one man - tzar Peter the Great. Call it as you wish - Northern Venice, Palmira of the North, Northern Aurora. But none of these can fully express its beauty and fascinating elegance.
