About Us

Prospekt Magazine is a collaborative project from international journalists living in St Petersburg, Russia. As the only online magazine in English about St Petersburg, our mission is to tell stories from a different perspective about the city and its people. We also present you with the latest English news from St Petersburg, Russia.

This project was launched in 2014 with a small editorial team supported by a band of contributors. Since October 2016, the vision for Prospekt Magazine has been passed on to a new editorial team.

Prospekt Magazine is not only for expats and foreigners living in St Petersburg, but for everybody who has an interest in English news and stories. We offer you personal insights and recommendations about the city – from its cultural and art scene to politics and everyday life.
