Новая ассоциативная прогулка с Алексеем Пивоваровым по Петербургу

Friends, at your many requests we filmed the second episode of "Walks in St. Petersburg" with Alexey Pivovarov. In the first episode we walked through winter Petersburg, now we stroll through summer. We discuss how the Trezini Hotel, former headquarters of Yevgeny Prigozhin, intersects with the Peter and Paul Fortress where Decembrists were executed, how the monument to Anna Akhmatova opposite "Krestov" relates to the mansion of the royal mistress Matilda Kshesinskaya, which in 1917 attracted Vladimir Lenin, and what commonalities exist between the cruiser Aurora and the icebreaker Krasin. We also visit a St. Petersburg communal apartment. The video covers topics such as why we decided to film the second series (00:00), how two Akhmatovas appeared in "Kresty" (02:40), the main prison of Russia (09:31), the most famous public execution in Russia (12:18), the paradox of Russian political life (15:50), how the "Eugene Onegin" should have ended (23:02), the role of ballet artists in the royal society (25:50), the most surprising party on the cruiser Aurora (31:14), what the icebreaker Krasin was famous for (35:15), why the steamer Chelyuskin sank (38:15), how the Chelyuskin people were rescued (42:32), how the fates of the Chelyuskin people unfolded (47:22), who owned the Trezini Palace in the last 20 years (49:32), Alexey Pivovarov's main guilty pleasure (52:01), who lives in St. Petersburg communal apartments today and why (54:05), who and how tries to preserve them (1:00:01), and the same St. Petersburg roofs (1:01:50).
