All the Streets of St. Petersburg. The History of the Names of Streets and Avenues, Rivers and Canals, Bridges and Islands
19.99 €
The book by well-known local historians, members of the Toponymic Commission of St. Petersburg, tells about the history of the names of streets, squares, islands, bridges, rivers and canals of St. Petersburg - and through it about the history of the city and the country, as it is reflected in the names.

The guide explains the origin of each city name - now existing and ever before - and tells about what is associated with it, whether it is the biography of a person, the history of an area, or the notable building by which the street is named.

The authors do not repeat the numerous guidebooks and popular publications about St. Petersburg; they provide little-known but undoubtedly interesting information.
