If you come to explore St. Petersburg we recommend you to visit its suburbs as well. Today we are talking about Kronstadt. Kronstadt is the most remote and unusual of the seven suburbs. Located on the island of Kotlin in the Gulf of Finland, the city throughout its history served as the sea shield of St. Petersburg and the capital of the Baltic Fleet of Russia. Right here the world's first icebreaker was built. It was in Kronstadt that Popov discovered the radio waves reflection effect. This place is also famous for being the first one in Russia where surgery using anesthesia was performed. In addition to all these worthy titles and awards, Kronstadt is simply fascinating. It’s all due to some subtle atmosphere of this port city, its straight canal lines, a magnificent marine cathedral and even the omnipresent insidious wind that permeates right through this tiny but spiritually strong island.
