In 1975 Jan Brokken first visited St. Petersburg, then called Leningrad. Communism was far from over. Now, forty years later, he returns to the city to rediscover it. He takes walks remembering the past and evoking the spirit of poets and dissidents, fools and geniuses of desperate and loved ones, Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Brodsky, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Nabokov, Berberova, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky and many others. --
