St Petersburg was the capital of the Russian Empire and the cradle of the Russian Revolution. But we like it for what it is now – a city where the most romantic walks could happen in its streets and parks. There are some numbers in this episode: the 12th century, the 18th century, the 1760s-1830s, 1914, 1918, and 1924.
