When I was in St. Pete in 2000, if you weren't on a tour, you were confined to the cruise ship, with guards stationed at the gangplank.  They checked passports and boarding passes of each tour group as they returned. 

 

St. Pete didn't have a cruise dock, just a commercial dock.  I spent a fair amount of time watching a fork-lift shove hoppers into some kind of covered unloading station.

Too bad they have "tagging" there, too....always wondered if a huge country like

Russia and, more so, the former U.S.S.R., had any scenery?  You never hear about

any Yellowstones or Yosemites there...just Lake Baikal up in Siberia, and I think that was long off limits.   And it doesn't yet sound like you can just rent a car and look for castles, or whatever.  Not so long ago I doubt if you could have photographed trains (or anything).  Of course, now they have Chechnya and a lot

of the same fun we are not having.
