Not the same as the Yarka St Petersburg (I have the old 24 set, and can do a comparision upon requesteion)

They are not the same. The original paints "White Nights" are produced by Nevskaya Palitra manufacture in St.Petersburg, Russia for about 100 years. Their paints are the highest quality watercolors available on the market. Other Nevskaya Palitra paints (different quantity of pans and different containers) are also known by names "Saint Petersburg" and "Leiningrad" but again, produced by Nevskaya Palitra, not Yarka. (from Yarka listing on Amazon-https://amzn.to/2r5USOn)

“White Nights” are professional watercolours of the highest quality that combine old masters' traditions and modern production techniques. The paints are produced of the finely ground pigments and binders adding Gum Arabic which is recognized as the best natural adhesive for professional watercolours. The colours have high intensity colour hues, which do not tone down even when much water is added. This is provided by the high concentration and fine grit of a pigment. The paints have perfect mixing, smearing and spreading qualities. The palette consists mostly of mono pigment and lightfastcolours.Available in sets of 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 colours in 2,5 ml pans, 12 colours in 10 ml tubes and in assortment of 64 colours in 2,5 ml pans. (from Nevskaya Palitra site)

These are manufactured by Nevskaya Palitra (http://www.nevskayapalitra.ru/eng/production/watercolor)

Also manufacture Lagoda and Sonnet watercolors

Different grades available from Nevskaya Palitra, this is the highest grade and still quite affordable

NOTE:  Despite the website's insistence, these are a rebranding of Yarka watercolors.
