About

A walk through the Bolshaya Ohtinskoye Cemetery with researcher Margarita Nikolaeva will help view the necropolis as a cultural and historical monument. The walk with necropolis researcher and author of the book "Necropolises of St. Petersburg" Margarita Nikolaeva will open new facets of perception of the cemetery. Participants of the tour will learn to distinguish pre-revolutionary gravestones from Soviet ones, understand what a re-engraving is, and why many monuments received a second life in the 20th century. You will discuss how changes in power and ideology influenced the visual appearance of cemeteries and how pre-revolutionary elements are still preserved in the urban environment. We know what to see in St. Petersburg.
