The aura arising from this distinctiveness functioned as a marketable code not only for St. Petersburg’s heritage industry, but also for a future-oriented engagement with post-Soviet hypercapitalism. Reflecting on both up-to-date scholarship and the actual cityscapes themselves, my dissertation will focus on the imaginative landscapes in the historic center of St.

Weil sie überzeugt sind, dass die Arbeit, die hier geleistet wird, ein bedeutsames Unterfangen ist. Anderenfalls würden sie nicht kommen. Es gibt so viele Orte, wohin sie gehen könnten. Wer hierherkommt, erkennt die Bedeutung dessen, was hier getan wird. Es sind große Musiker. Es sind großartige Persönlichkeiten. Sie wissen, dass sie ein Erbe weiterzugeben haben. Und sie haben sich entschieden, es hier zu tun.“ “Why do you have all these great musicians here? Because they believe that the work that is being done here is a serious undertaking. Otherwise they wouldn’t come. There are plenty of other places they could go. The people who come here understand the importance of what is being done. They are great musicians.
