Krestovsky Island, Saint Petersburg walking tour 4k 60fps

Krestovsky Island is the largest of the three Kirov Islands, which stand north of the Petrograd Side in the Neva delta. It has for centuries been a popular playground for the general populace of St. Petersburg, with much of the island common ground from the beginning of the 19th century. Today it is rapidly turning into the city’s smartest suburb, with an ever-increasing number of elite housing developments encroaching on the public park. It was a sunny Sunday walk and coincidentally Airborne Day, which is why there are so many people in striped vests. On the 2nd of August Russia celebrates the day of Russian airborne troops. VDV is abbreviation of vozdushno-desantnie voiska (airborne troops in Russian). During that celebration all paratroopers put on their uniform or striped vests, gather in public places
