in Saint-Petersburg


Gay life in Saint-Petersburg

In Soviet times, Russia's gay scene was completely underground. After perestroyka, attitudes towards and laws about homosexuality started to change, and, in 1993, was decriminalised. In a lot of ways, Russia remains more conservative than most European countries, which may be why the gay scene in St. Petersburg is smaller and more hidden than you would expect for a city of almost five million.

I will assist you with trying to meet the local Gay population in the city. Also, you may meet someone of interest at the local bars and Bath houses. Prepare yourself for a good time.

Pavlovsk

This is superb palace-and-park ensemble of the late XVIII - begining of the XIX centuries which was used as a summer residence of the Russian emperor Paul 1 and his family. The landscape park, one of the largest in Europe, covers the area of 600 ha. The works on the palace-and-park ensemble on the winding banks of the Slavyanka river lasted for 50 years.
