St. Petersburg - Post Report Question and Answers

Do you recommend any books or movies about this city/country for those who are interested in learning more?

Leningrad by Anna Reid (about the Siege in WWII), Catherine the Great by Robert Massie, Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. Any of the current political books on Russia and its leadership (there are plenty just search Amazon). - Apr 2017


I don't have specific titles but books on Russian folk belief, traditional fairy tales, and classic stories from Tolstoy and Pushkin would be helpful. Russians are superstitious and traditional, and continue to use bits and pieces of folklore and traditional stories in their everyday lives. - Aug 2011
