  The environmental and financial advantages of employing electrically powered vehicles are undisputed, and these benefits are greater still in the case of public transportation, which, though perhaps not in comfort, in efficiency far surpasses personal vehicles.

• Ibraheem’s Expeditions: Nevsky Prospect

  "You are going to one of the most beautiful and charming cities in the world" this phrase got stuck in my mind as I was telling my Russian language teacher back in Syria that I received the results for the scholarship and I was accepted at ITMO in St. Petersburg.

• St. Petersburg Communal Apartments: Unique and Endangered

  St. Petersburg, a city of five million residents, still has a large number of communal apartments or kommunalki, as they’re called in Russian — about 70,000 in total — most of them in the historic center of the city.

• Unusual Places Outside of St. Petersburg

  The city of St. Petersburg abounds in places of interest and popular landmarks. In the four years of my life here, I’ve visited practically all of the most famous ones, with some of them really proving worthy of the hype. But they all share a significant disadvantage — crowds of tourists on weekends, and sometimes the inability to get anywhere either for free or outside the tour group. Therefore, like many other people, now I prefer to look for less classic routes and places to relax. Here I will try to talk about some of them.
