Every-day life of "two Petersburgs" is revealed. The first one is the capital of the stern Russian Empire, the city of haughty magnates, bad police, tricky officials, humiliated merchants and craftsmen, and silent peasants. The second Petersburg represents a noblemen's paradise where the masters are allowed to serve or not to serve on their wish as well as to travel all over the world and read works prohibited even by French censorship. The narration is based on memoirs, correspondence, newspaper articles and archival documets.
