Why do tour operators seem to think one goes to St Petersburg to see Rembrandts, Titians, etc, (wonderful as they are), when there is a wealth of Russian culture there? I loved the Russian Museum, Pushkin’s Apartment on the Moyka Embankment, the wonderful choral singing at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, and seeking out the tomb of Tchaikovsky in the cemetery there.
