The Peter and Paul Fortress and Cathedral , St Petersburg, Russia
The Peter and Paul Cathedral is located inside the Peter and Paul Fortress along the Neva River in St. Petersburg. It is the oldest building in St. Petersburg and the second tallest after the television tower.
In the early 20th century, it was still used as a prison by the tsarist government.
Today it has been adapted as the central and most important part of the State Museum of Saint Petersburg History. The museum has gradually become virtually the sole owner of the fortress building, except the structure occupied by the Saint Petersburg Mint.

St Petersburg university building COLLAPSES with people trapped under rubble
St Petersburg university building COLLAPSES with people trapped under rubble.Three floors of the Russian building reportedly came crashing down this evening, leaving debris scattered across the ground.A university building in St Petersburg, Russia, has partially collapsed, leaving people trapped under rubble.
Three floors of the five-storey building reportedly came crashing down this evening, with debris scattered across the ground.
Around two dozen people were said to have been trapped in the building, but the emergency services reported no casualties.
The disaster occurred at the city's Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) University, while classes were under way.
Police vehicles and ambulances were spotted descending on the scene.
More than 60 people were evacuated after the fifth to second floors of the building suddenly collapsed, according to Sputnik News.
Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul
. St. Petersburg.
The Cathedral of SS Peter and Paul is the oldest church in St. Petersburg, and also the second-tallest building in the city (after the television tower). It is intimately linked to both the history of the city and to the Romanov dynasty, as it is home to the graves of nearly all the rulers of Russia since Peter the Great.
The Peter and Paul Cathedral marked a radical departure from traditional Orthodox churches, being built in early Baroque style. Its rectangular shape, bell-tower, and landmark needle are all features borrowed from the protestant churches of Western Europe - the influence of Dutch architecture is particularly visible - all of which was in accordance with Peter's wishes.
The inside of the cathedral holds a fantastic iconostasis, completed by a group of more than forty Moscow architects under Ivan Zarudny from 1722-1727. Whereas the architectural style of the cathedral is similar in style to the Lutheran church, the painting of the iconostasis is more in the spirit of Catholic Church icons. The walls of the cathedral are also embellished with paintings of various bible themes, including many paintings of gospel stories by artists of the early and mid 18th century.
The bell-tower has a colorful, often tragic history. As the tallest structure for many miles, it was often the victim of lightning, and in fact burned down on the night of April 29-30, 1756, in a particularly severe fire. Although the bells were destroyed, the iconostasis was removed from the cathedral in the nick of time. In 1766, Catherine the Great ordered the bell tower to be rebuilt exactly as it had been, and the new tower was unveiled in 1776.

ST PETERSBURG Lakhta Center 463m, 86 fl, Russia under fire over St Petersburg skyscraper plan
Lakhta Center is a large scale project of the construction of a modern business center in Primorsky district of Saint Petersburg exercising a wide range of public functions with a developed public and transport infrastructure. Lakhta Center is implemented as a pilot project of an integrated development of the area and the construction of a mini city on the outskirts of Saint Petersburg, a sustainable district for life and work. The headquarters of Gazprom Neft and other Gazprom Group companies will be the center of the cluster in Primorsky district to be surrounded by business enterprises.
The project objective is the construction of a cluster in Petersburg meeting the world standards of the construction of a business and public environment aimed at increasing the level of business activity in the city and North-western region as a whole.
The concept of the project implies the construction of a large office center and a scientific and educational complex. For the citizens it is planned to build a sports complex, a children’s techno-park and a series of free public facilities, including shops, restaurants, cafes and other services. A large attention in the project will be paid to the improvement of the transport situation in Primorsky district.
The need in the public and business area with a developed public infrastructure is caused by urgent tasks faced in economy and public life of the city. An integrated approach to the arrangement of the urban space will allow creating necessary conditions for the development of business, attracting large companies and creating new highly paid jobs. A new business area will absorb the business load which is unusual for the center of the city which together with additional revenue into the city’s budget from new investor companies will enable to preserve a unique image of Petersburg.
This is how Lakhta Center will look like in 2018, a multifunctional public and business complex, which core will be the HQ of Gazprom Neft company and its subsidiaries.
Over half of the areas will be occupied by public functions: a scientific and educational complex, a children’s center for amusing science, a planetarium, exhibition halls, a health center, a multifunctional hall for congresses, conferences, theater performances, musical and costume shows, a cinema center and a sports center, an open amphitheater and a few more public services including a bank branch, retail shops, restaurants, cafés, etc.

Moscow, Russia city tour
There are slides of Moscow Kremlin, Moskva river, Saint Basil's Cathedral, Moscow State University, Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Central Moscow skyline, Bolshoi Theatre, Red Square, State History Museum, The White House, VDNKh, etc.
Moscow is the capital and the largest city of Russia. Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific center of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, it has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies. Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center.
Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, making it the world's most populated inland city. The city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral with its brightly colored domes. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world, having the largest forest in an urban area within its borders—more than any other major city—even before its expansion in 2012.
The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Soviet Union. Moscow is considered the center of Russian culture, having served as the home of Russian artists, scientists and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions and theaters.
Moscow is the seat of power of the Government of Russia, being the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence of the Russian president. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in the city.
The city is served by a transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground metro systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, the fourth-largest in the world and largest outside of Asia in terms of passenger numbers, and the busiest in Europe. It is recognized as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its 197 stations.
Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), The Whitestone One (Белокаменная), The First Throne (Первопрестольная), The Forty Forties (Сорок Сороков), and The Hero City (город-герой). In old Russian the word Сорок (forty) also meant a church administrative district, which consisted of about forty churches. The demonym for a Moscow resident is москвич (moskvich), rendered in English as Muscovite.
