My second destination in Russia was St. Petersburg. Through the years, St. Petersburg has gone by many names like Leningrad and Petrograd. There were some amazing sights to see in the city. First, I went to the winter palace, where Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks led their October Revolution. In fact, the city was home to three notorious revolutions, The February, October, and the Revolution of 1905. The winter palace was beautiful, it reminded me of the palace of Versailles. The summer palace was also a work of art. Just when I thought the buildings couldn't get any better, I visited St. Isaac's Cathedral. The architecture's beauty on the outside was only rivaled by the immaculate paintings on the inner walls. St. Petersburg has beauty around nearly every corner, it was a truly remarkable city.
