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.
