• Three Great Young Adult Fiction Books

  …h game as a mentor and has to make many difficult decisions. The Ballad is quite spooky and in a way similar to The Handmaid's Tale, being an intentionally grotesque horror story. It contains everything I love the original trilogy for — realistic characters, the understandable motivation behind their actions, and complex human emotions. Anastasia Zavozova, a li…

• Three Books to Read This Month: March 2021

  …Miranda Barry, by Patricia Duncker Patricia Duncker’s novel has recently been described many times over as a "book undoubtedly deserving of attention."

  …ly basis. In March, I was sent to the hospital for quarantine because I just had the usual flu and in April everyone went on a 2-week (haha) lockdown; you know the rest of the story. But during all these months I haven’t stopped hoping to go on an exchange semester. And after all that, I’m here. The first scary thing was the visa. I’ve heard and read so many s…

• Ibraheem’s Expeditions: Nevsky Prospect

  …a glorious building with statues of strong men holding it on every column. It is a view you see a lot on buildings in St. Petersburg, I think it really represents the city's history as it was a challenge to build such a wonder of a city.

  …w all about the art works. The best source of information about the exhibits was the artist himself. We had quite long talks about their art. It was really amazing to hear the story of creation, prerequisites and the meaning they put into their work. It felt like an interview, we listened very carefully, since we wanted to convey to visitors the true meaning of the i…

Before university I did ballroom dancing. For me it was very sad to think that I have to finish this hobby after school. A lot of people don't even know that ballroom danci…

• St. Petersburg Communal Apartments: Unique and Endangered

  …once I happened to get inside this one building (thanks to my dear friend who is a photographer and knows a lot of people) that had little remarkable architecture but a rich history. It was a bit like falling down a rabbit hole. A heavy metal door opened onto a brand new world. I could scarcely believe my eyes — here luxury met poverty — a carved arch in the hallway …
