“In 2022, we are celebrating the 350th anniversary of Peter I, the great emperor who gave us this holiday,” Piotrovsky said.
The vice-governor said that “that is why the concept combines the symbolism of European Christmas and the imperial style of the Peter and Paul period, referring to the first city palaces and the angel on the spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress”.
He said that "the renewal will affect the main highways of the city, as well as districts remote from the center."
In September, it was reported that in honor of the upcoming celebration of the 350th anniversary of the birth of the founder of St. Petersburg Peter I, a festive shot sounded in the Peter and Paul Fortress.
