Saint petersburg (russia) (russian sankt peterburg), second largest city and largest seaport in russia, located in the northwestern part of the country, at the head of the gulf of finland (an arm of the baltic sea). the capital of russia for two centuries (1712-1918), saint petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in europe, noted for its lavish palaces and grand cathedrals. it is also a major rail junction and an industrial, cultural, and scientific center. the city is located on both banks of the neva river and on a number of river islands. saint petersburg has been renamed three times since its founding. construction of the city began in 1703, ordered by russian tsar (later emperor) peter the great, who named it saint petersburg after his patron saint. after world war i broke out in 1914, the city's germanic name was changed to petrograd. in 1924, upon the death of soviet leader vladimir lenin, its name was changed to leningrad. finally, in june 1991, six months before the union of soviet socialist republics (ussr) officially dissolved and russia emerged as an independent country, the city reverted to its original name. saint petersburg’s climate is one of strong contrasts. it is affected by air masses coming off the atlantic ocean and by polar continental air, which in winter is very dry and cold. saint petersburg has cold winters, with temperatures in january averaging -10° c (14° f); the summers are generally cool, with the temperature in july averaging 17° c (63° f). although the city’s harbor is frozen for three to four months of each year, icebreakers keep it open for much of the winter season.

I'm all for books, because they mean a lot to me. When you watch movie you see all the characters, hear their voices and so on and so on. But when you read the book - it's your choice: what colour are the character's eyes or what he's wearing now. You imagine everything - you are producer in this moment. You can learn a lot of new things from a book, even if you read fiction books, you can find something from physics or geography and psychology. You can touch books, feel and smell them. But you can't do it with TV shows. Ant the last but not least - our ancestors could do without TV, reading books, so why can't we?
