The White Night of St. Petersburg
Prince Michael of Greece, Franklin Philip
Atlantic Monthly Press, 2004
So-So writing /interesting book, though
This was not a bad book, but, I think the fact that it's a translation from the French does give it it a stiff quality. (I think there is also a ghostwriter involved.) Also, the initial leap from present to past is somewhat awkward in execution (the first chapter begins like a memoir in the ...

Sunlight at Midnight: St. Petersburg and the Rise of Modern Russia
Bruce Lincoln, W. Bruce Lincoln
Basic Books, 2002
One final excellent work
It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of W. Bruce Lincoln, one of my favorite writers of history. His works on Russia have given me, time and again, new insight into that country, its people and history. This last work is another excellent example of his writing, marred only by what ...

St. Petersburg Nights: Enlightening Story of Life and Science in Russia
William Campbell Douglass II, MD
Rhino Publishing, S.A., 2003
Why on earth would I want to spend a year living in the 'evil empire?" Primarily, I went to Russia for a reason you may find hard to believe. My pursuit of alternative treatments that heal was increasingly frustrated by our American medical "system." I was amazed to realize that physicians in other parts of the world -- even in Russia -- are freer to practice, research, and learn than right here ...
