St. Petersburg
A city of sudden and historic changes, St Petersburg turned 300 years old in 2003. Russian President Vladimir Putin hearkens from this Venice of the North, and allowed for extensive restorations of the city before the anniversary. Several years later, the city's main thoroughfares and shopping districts are still thriving from this recent beautification. And it was certainly about time. From its dramatic birth at the order of Peter the Great, in the early years of the 18th century, the city has suffered turbulent years of revolution, the freezing death and starvation of the Nazi siege, the grim purges of Stalin and the end of the Communist era in the 1990s.
