I share my experience of living in Russia and visiting other Post-Soviet countries like Ukraine and Georgia. Some laconic notes and photos of people, events, places and my views on news most discussed among Russian bloggers and in Russian-speaking Internet in whole. Politics, life and fun.
Petersburg
Halloween in Russia
Submitted by admin on October 26, 2009 - 23:59Halloween has become a popular youth holiday in Russian large cities. Many creative people celebrate Halloween at clubs and their homes. Mass character is new here. Nobody made Halloween parties in Soviet time but the idea of Halloween was known due to American movies. As I see Halloween gains much popularity last years...
Below you'll see 4 photos of my first true Halloween party at my home in 2004.
Karelian Isthmus Nature
Submitted by admin on August 24, 2009 - 18:51Petersburg's the nicest nature feature is Neva river. The city core with all its beautiful granite embankments and drawbridges stretches on wide Neva delta. If you are rather nature lover than an architecture fan you won't find something valuable there except this. So you need visit Petersburg surroundings because they are really different.
