All videos were filmed at night to convey the atmosphere and spirit of the mystical literary Petersburg.

what students say

Thank you very much, the course is really very interesting and exciting. Although I don’t live in St. Petersburg, when I get there I will walk the streets of this huge city and remember your stories. I definitely want to share new information with people who are also fond of literature, like me!

I just finished watching your course and have absolutely no idea how this happened. Too fast and lightning fast! I have never been to St. Petersburg, but in absentia I was fascinated by the literary ghosts of the city. For which I am deeply grateful to your team, which was able to create such a magical course! So many interesting and unexpected things, my heart fluttered from my favorite lines, from similar thoughts. Thanks for the education!

I liked this course because it is not like everyone else, it talks about something else: about the secret, about the mystical and enchanted. All lectures were explained in a simple language, understandable to everyone: both schoolchildren and ordinary philosophers. I would also like to note that all the test tasks after each chapter were easy and focused on the most significant moments of the lecture, which is not unimportant for ordinary schoolchildren who still do not know more than they actually do and are not yet able to compare many details. I express my deep gratitude to the creators and personally to the author of the course for his original approach to the topic under study, the simplicity and enthusiasm of statements and the desire to learn new phenomena, and perhaps well-forgotten old ones in the literary life not only of St. Petersburg, but of the whole world.
