http://tourvideos.com St. Petersburg began with the construction of this fortress, built on and island in the Neva Rivaerin 1703 for Peter the Great. Today it is a popular attraction, and features the tombs of the tsars from Peter to Nicholas and Alexandra in the Peter and Paul Cathedral.
Residents of St. Petersburg still can't put up with the fact that Moscow is the capital of Russia. "We have 2 capitals in Russia... We have the commercial and bureaucratic capital in Moscow, and we have the cultural capital of St. Petersburg" .... very caustic remark LOL
