CULTURE & LIFESTYLE GUIDE

Avante-garde haven fights city hall and pop culture
q : What do st petersburg's creative underclass, the Mayor's office, and Channel Five Television have in common? a : Not a lot. Which is why they have all been deadlocked in a dispute about 15,584.8 square meters [18,701.8 square yards] of centrally-located property for two years and look set to continue feuding into the next Millennium.

In the city of Peter, only two statues of the great man made it through the troubled years after the Bolshevik Revolution. The Soviets, in their quest for ideologically correct art, left only the Bronze Horseman and the monument in front of the Engineers Castle. YEVGENIA GLICKMAN examines the lost statues that didn't make it through the Revolution.
