Description: Four distinguished Soviet historians evoke the daily life of St. Petersburg just at the point--1890 to 1914--when it was witnessing the last moments of its imperial incarnation and, simultaneously, the first shocks of social and technological change. Many of the 317 photographs have never before been published.
