  Now that we’re approaching the thick of December, there are more and more winter events on the horizon. Here’s our separate overview of those, but for the time being, we’re proclaiming our weekend guide an (almost) festive-free zone (you’re welcome).

• This Weekend in St. Petersburg: December 1-2

  Hello winter, our old friend, who loves to overstay its welcome and never cleans up its mess when it finally decides to bid its adieus.

  Last week, on the eve of Halloween we were remembering the scary stuff from Russian folklore. This reminded me of one place in St. Petersburg: as a child, I deemed it the city’s scariest, and I still know quite a few people who swear that they will never go there again.
