<b>This city is called <font color=green> "the northern capital of Russia"</font>. People living there don't think much about Moscow and call it <font color=green>"a huge village"</font>. Moscovites feel a little arrogant and consider Saint Petersburg <font color=green>a provincial town</font>. Although I admire Saint Petersburg, and every time visit it with great pleasure, but, being a Moscovite, I still feel a <font color=green>provincial touch</font>. In St. Petersburg I can't help thinking about the great Russian poet <font color=green>Alexander Pushkin</font>, where he died on a duel. I can't help thinking about that <font color=green>revolution of 1917</font> which turned our life upside down... In this city I feel something in my soul that <font color=green>I cannot convey</font>. It's <font color=green>a special city, a unique city, a city with unbelievable atmosphere</font>. People there differ from Moscovites. They are not so fussy, not always in a hurry. It's a pleasure to walk around St. Petersburg on a summer day - <font color=green>along the Neva embankment, along Nevsky Avenue, to breathe the air of the Gulf of Finland</font>. If you plan to visit Russia, <font color=green>do not miss this city, please</font>!
