    Two Sides of St. Petersburg

    A video filmed in St. Petersburg captures two very different scenes unfolding just a few meters apart.

    On one bench, a man is drinking vodka. In the background, a woman in a glowing, fairy-tale dress is dancing in front of the one of the city’s grand historic buildings.

    Two very different evenings, same city.

    Chevrons of Wehrmacht units will be placed on the floor of the Park Pobedy metro station lobby in St. Petersburg so passengers can walk over them, Governor Beglov said.

    The station flooring will be made from melted-down armor from German military vehicles found at World War II battle sites near Leningrad.

    A woman has apparently turned her apartment building backyard into a pigeon buffet.

    First, she orders 40 bags of grain straight to her apartment — no exaggeration. Then she throws the food out the window with a scoop.

    But the real nightmare starts after that: every day, seagulls fly in to hunt the pigeons feeding there. They catch them, finish them off, and eat them.

    Now the whole courtyard is covered in droppings, feathers, grain, and dead birds.
