'The Topography of Imperial Power: The Political and Cultural Space of Saint Petersburg'

Between 1712 and 1917, Saint Petersburg was the capital of the powerful Russian Empire. Here were all important political institutions of the Empire. They produced a social space, which is the main subject of the Summer School.
