What will you learn
- What historical transformations happened to the two islands
- How Peter I worked as a simple carpenter, and Mendeleev was engaged in industrial espionage
- Who was in the prison of the Peter and Paul Fortress, how the prisoners lived and what is the secret of the prisoner who did not leave solitary confinement for 20 years, but did not lose her mind
- How icebreakers and submarines were tested in New Holland, where the phrase “stay out of the bottle” came from, and how real estate agents “advertised” the block in front of the prison
- What are the two St. Petersburg islands famous for today and what to look for when walking around them
And there will also be floods, rivers and canals, the Great Northern War, found lions (like in the movies) and modern creative projects of the city. The history of the two islands is intertwined with curious facts and urban myths, so I promise - 1.5 hours will fly by fascinatingly!
