St. Petersburg is as beautiful as any other European city despite its origins as a fabricated window to the West built up from the newly conquered swamps all driven by Peter the Great's genius or insanity. Hundreds of thousands died of disease and industrial accidents during its construction. It's no wonder that, aside from its beauty, its mysticism and mystery rival few other cities in world.
That said, I can think of no greater disservice and no quicker path to ruin than recasting it thusly.
