Зачем Петру Петербург? / Борис Кипнис и Егор Яковлев

How did the French architect Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Le Blond envision the future capital? How are his plans similar to those of Leonardo da Vinci? What principles did Peter the Great use to select the location for his royal residence? Where did the first imperial palace appear and what did it look like? What were the boundaries of St. Petersburg under Peter the Great? How was the city's "showcase" – the English Embankment – ​​built? Why have so few buildings from Peter the Great's St. Petersburg survived? What contributed to the survival of the northern capital, and who spurred its further development? We answer these and other questions in Yegor Yakovlev's program "Historical Education" with historian Boris Kipnis on Sputnik Radio. Like the video? Give it a like to help develop the channel!
