🇷🇺 SCARLET SAILS 2025. SAINT PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

Scarlet Sails 2025. Nevsky Prospect. Saint Petersburg, Russia. 28 June 2025. The Scarlet Sails is a celebration in St. Petersburg, Russia, the most massive and famous public event during the White Nights Festival every summer. This tradition began in 1968, when several Leningrad schools united to celebrate at the end of the school year in connection with the symbolism of the popular 1923 romantic novel Scarlet Sails by Alexander Grin. During the first celebration, a brigantine with scarlet sails sailed along the English Embankment and the Admiralty Embankment towards the Winter Palace. The 1961 release of the film Scarlet Sails boosted the popularity both of the book and of the tradition. Subscribe:    / @dullwalk
