Description
St Petersburg was commanded into existence by Peter the Great, and its inherent artifice has made it one of the world's most storied cities. This award-winning narrative history chronicles what is perhaps the greatest story of any modern city anywhere, from its foundation in a swampy war zone in 1703 to its role in overthrowing Soviet power.
