Question

Why is St Petersburg Russia so beautiful??? even more so than Moscow....I hope we would never bomb it...?

Answer 1

MK 6 is correct, but the Russian never followed his vision,

I was in Russia in October, 2006 in the Siberian area, and

in Moscow for a day.

That was enough for me to realize that economically

the Russians don't get they just never got it.

Answer 2

it was built with slave labor, - and thousands died, - so you could "oooooh" and "aaaah".

Personally, - I've been there too, - and I can't enjoy the flowers, -grown from the blood and body parts of those that were killed to 'make' it.

This city was never intended to be Russian at all - or rather, it was founded to exemplify Peter the Great's vision for Russia . . . which was "Western." Built on marshland with slave labor, Peter the Great established his city as the new capital of Russia.
