The nature and architecture of the Leningrad Region are stunningly diverse. It is not surprising that Russian filmmakers often choose these regions for filming. We suggest that you go in search of places where popular Soviet and Russian films were shot. And at the same time, visit those, where you won't be able to go on purpose. We guarantee - it will be interesting!
