The citadel of the Russian intelligentsia, St. Petersburg is perhaps the only place in our vast, where the men, while being healthy, still raise their hats and weigh a half-cock, and the ladies did not forget to sit down on the very edge of the chair, elegantly kneeling together .And even the discouraged young people who seem to be behaving identically around the globe, are a little more polite in St. Petersburg, even more respectful and elusively aristocratic .The reasons for this noteworthy phenomenon can be guessed endlessly: the beauty of canals and embankments, the refined architecture of imported architects (everything is entirely "-lli", "-si" and "no"), romantic white nights, the austerity and simplicity of urban planning, diffused light semi-transparent cloudy days, finally .But the main thing, it seems to us, is in the wonderful Petersburg tradition to know, to love and to visit the theaters .By the way, the first Russian theater was founded here - the will of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna in 1756 opened the famous Alexandrinsky .And if on your return from St. Petersburg you start to utter phrases such as "I, Mother, Absolutely Absorbed" (just like that, through "-sa"), you know - the spirit of St. Petersburg theatricality has also penetrated you .
