Summary:
"One of the world's most alluring cities - a place where the past is ubiquitous and controversial. We are far more familiar with the city's pre-1917 and Second World War history than with its recent past. Weaving together oral history, personal observation, literary and artistic texts, journalism, and archival materials, the author traces the at times paradoxical feelings of anxiety and pride that were inspired by living in the city, both when it was Soviet Leningrad, and now. Ranging from rubbish dumps to promenades, from the city's glamorous center to its grimy outskirts - a compelling panorama of an elusive place. Catriona Kelly is Professor of Russian at the University of Oxford and the author of many books about Russian literature and culture. She lives in Oxford and St.
Petersburg
