| St. Petersburg is my native city
where I was born and am living now. In 2003 it will be
300 years old. It was founded by tsar Peter First to have
for Russia "window at Europe". |
| It's a very beautiful town as
are speaking "Northern Venetsiya". It's located
on northwest of Russia at the place where the wide and
deep river Neva goes in the Baltic sea. Also it's named
the cultural capital of Russia. It is famuos for many
museums, theaters, beautiful buildings, cathedrals,
bridges, various monuments of architecture. The main
sight of our city is Hermitage. I am
working in the very center of St. Petersburg near Nevsky
avenue and Griboedov's canal. Every day I enjoy its
beauty. |

I think I'll have not enough
life to acquaint you even briefly by everything that is
connected with St. Petersburg.
