Necropolises of Petersburg. Adam's Heads, Cholera Cemeteries, and Thunderstone
A guide to the necropolises of Petersburg by the creator of the educational project whatiscemetery.
The construction of the new capital, cholera epidemics and uprisings, floods, and the Russian revolutions of the 20th century — traces of all these events can...
still be found in the cemeteries of Petersburg. Being "mirrors" of the city, they have preserved countless marks of our past.
Where in Petersburg can one find cemeteries from the pre-Peter era? How is the Bronze Horseman connected to the cemeteries? Why did the idea of building a crematorium emerge in pre-revolutionary Russia? Petersburg's necropolises — and this book — can tell you about this and much more.
