Reading from the book 'Necropolises of St. Petersburg' with researcher Margarita Nikolaeva is an opportunity to hear live stories that did not make it into the publication and to see urban memory through the lens of necropolises. What makes the reading special? First, the live commentary from the author: how the material was gathered, which archives and routes were key, and why certain stories sound different. Second, attention to detail: the symbolism of tombstones, the language of stone and metal, cemetery layouts, the interplay of architecture and botany, memory signs that are easily overlooked. Third, an open dialogue. The format allows for questions from the audience, clarifications, and sharing impressions - this feedback creates the effect of joint exploration. Who is the meeting suitable for? For those who have already read the book in full or in part - the joint reading implies participation. But also for those who are just starting to get acquainted with the topic, the reading will provide a clear orientation: why it is important to talk about cemeteries as cultural spaces and where the boundary lies between personal memory and the history of the city. We tell how to organize leisure in St. Petersburg.
