Necropolises of St. Petersburg: Adam's Heads, Cholera Cemeteries, and the Thunder Stone
14.99 €
A guide to the necropolises of St. Petersburg from the creator of the educational project whatiscemetery.

The construction of the new capital, cholera epidemics and riots, floods and Russian revolutions of the 20th century — traces of all these events can still be found in the cemeteries of St. Petersburg. Being “mirrors” of the city, they have preserved countless traces of our past.

Where can you find pre-Petrine cemeteries in St. Petersburg? How is the Bronze Horseman connected with cemeteries? Why did the idea of building a crematorium appear in pre-revolutionary Russia? The necropolises of St. Petersburg — and this book — can tell you about this and much more.
