google earth will tell you
Answer 2 :
Distance by road: 1.300 miles or 2.100 kilometers (travel over Moscow) I think you can do this by train (at least you can go by train from Moscow to St. Petersburg). Remind that in winter there is a lot of snow over there... There are some sites about the Demyansk Pocket and the demyansk Shield (something from the 2nd world war

Answer 1 :
St Pete beach, at this time going through alot of construction. Ripping down hotels to build condos. This is happening also Clearwater Beach, where I live. So if it does not bother you the noise, all day, try it. But before you book, ask, see what they say. There are plenty things to do, Salvador Dali museum, Mosi'Imax' the Bodies exhibit is there. Tampa has Ybor City, Busch Gardens, enjoy youself.
Answer 2 :
you can go to the races if you like races thats what we do sometimes. Busch gardens, disney, and universal studios are great places to visit or if you like to site see drive around st pete but be careful some areas are dangerous

Answer 1 :
You are thinking of The Master of Petersburg, by J. M. Coetzee From Library Journal "St. Petersburg is poised for revolution as Fyodor Dostoevsky returns from Germany to claim his deceased stepson's papers. Although the police rule Pavel's death a suicide, the famous writer is drawn into a group of shady characters, including the anarchist Nechaev, who is possibly Pavel's killer. Plagued by seizures and tormented by a torrid affair with his stepson's landlady, Dostoevsky struggles to ascertain once and for all a writer's responsibility to his family and society. The strength of South African writer Coetzee (Age of Iron, LJ 8/90) lies in his ability to draw characters and scenes evoking the dark mood of the master's novels. Unfortunately, this story of action and ideas lapses into monotonous debate in its final chapters, but there is much to enjoy despite the flagging plot. Recommended for literary collections

Answer 1 :
sure. visa is for country, not for city. but you will need to register in St.Pete (as well as in Moscow) - if you stay in hotel, they'll do it for you.
Answer 2 :
The correct answer is...yes, but be sure to check in at your hotel for a stamp in St. Petersburg. Also on your visa application you can list which cities you intend to visit during your trip. Add a few extras, you might want to tour (also add St. Petersburg to the list) this is for the official visa not to be confused with the invitation letter. Have a great trip.
Answer 3 :
Of course you can, Moscow and St. Petersburg are all in Russia! When you get a visa, you can travel to all the cities within this country territory.
