Yet outsiders are far more familiar with the city's pre-1917 and Second World War history than with its recent past. In this beautifully illustrated and highly original book, Catriona Kelly shows how creative engagement with the past has always been fundamental to St. Petersburg's residents. Weaving together oral history, personal observation, literary and artistic texts, journalism, and archival materials, she traces the at times paradoxical feelings of anxiety and pride that were inspired by living in the city, both when it was socialist Leningrad, and now. Ranging from rubbish dumps to promenades, from the city's glamorous center to its grimy outskirts, this ambitious book offers a compelling and always unexpected panorama of an extraordinary and elusive place. 606 $aHISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 607 $aSaint Petersburg (Russia)$xDescription and travel 607 $aSaint Petersburg (Russia)$xHistory 615 7$aHISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union. 676 $a947/.21 700 $aKelly$b Catriona$0505856 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791316903321 996 $aSt Petersburg$93708288 997 $aUNINA
