    1 Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives Russia’s Cultural Stunner: St. Petersburg R. Daniel Foster · Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020 I miss the Soviet hammer and sickle. When I first visited Russia – then called the Soviet Union – the symbol was everywhere, along with those treacly-romantic billboards of Vladimir Lenin reading to children: the patriarch who would solve everything. As a symbol of proletariat solidarity, the hammer and sickle was terrific branding (peasantry and working-class unite!), a promise of real power to ordinary folk – thank you Bolsheviks. Well, that didn’t work out. Still, if you visit Russia now (or once you can travel again), you will find plenty of working class vibrancy, but alas, few peasants. In fact, compared to my first visit to Russia in 1985, the country has tons more spirited energy and drive. Cultural Daily - 1 / 23 - 05.08.2021 2 St Petersburg’s Winter Palace | Photo: R. Daniel Foster Double delight: Moscow and St. Petersburg In January, I visited Moscow and St. Petersburg – you can read about the Moscow trip in a previous post, including that city’s unparalleled winter festival that’s blitzed out with light displays (likely viewable from space). The dual city itinerary was sponsored by Firebird Tours. Cultural Daily - 2 / 23 - 05.08.2021 3 The Winter Palace’s cobalt columns just off the entry | Photo: R.
