St. Petersburg

Saint Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia and has a diverse ethnic population of just under five million. The majority of the people are classified as ethnic Russian, but there is a significant number of other ethnic groups as well. Everyone that we saw in the city was dressed in clothing similar to that which one sees in other European countries. We were told that most are city dwellers living in their own small apartments, but some portion of them are still living in communal apartments where more than one family share the rooms.
