Revolutionary Petersburg City Tour

According to a number of key characteristics, our country was not like traditional colonial empires with overseas territories. Perhaps it was precisely this specificity that helped the Russian Empire last longer than others that had decayed decades earlier. However, no empire could survive the 20th century. Russia, too, was no exception. St. Petersburg is called the city of three revolutions. The first occurred in 1905. And two at once in 1917. How did it all start? Was a transition to a constitutional monarchy possible? What is common between the Great French Revolution and the Revolution in Russia? How did the revolution come to life on the lives of ordinary people? On this tour you will see places where the main revolutionary events unfolded. You will see the facades of the Winter Palace on which guns fired during the revolution. You will see the Russian Bastille and find out why it was called so.
