This image from the OP really aroused my curiosity.

What looks like signs on this building... at the top, at first glance it looks 'Russian' but that's actually Greek.

ΦΩΤΟΓΡΑΦΙΑ = Photography

And then it is repeated in French = 'PHOTOGRAPHIE'

There is also another sign in French below left, what looks like "Maison Delisle de à Dubois".

Very curious, why would a city in Russia have buildings with signs in Greek and French?

I suppose it begs the question of whether these are actually photos of St Petersburg.

Well, I can answer my own question, yes this is St Petersburg, found this place on Google Maps, it is still there, minus the signs though.

If we go with the narrative, how do you factor Ottoman Empire into it?

there is german there too- permanant art exhibition
History of Germans in Russia, Ukraine and the Soviet Union - Wikipedia
........In the Russian Empire before Catherine the Great, ethnic Germans were strongly represented among royalty and aristocracy. In addition, they made up numerous large land owners, military officers, and the upper echelons of the imperial service, engineers, scientists, artists, physicians, and the bourgeoisie in general...... The Germans of Russia did not necessarily speak Russian; many spoke German, while French was often used as the language of the high aristocracy....Tsarina Catherine II was German, she proclaimed open immigration on July 22, 1763, marking the beginning of a wave of German migration to the Empire. She wanted German farmers to redevelop farmland that had been fallow after conflict with the Ottomans. .....In 1803 Catherine II's grandson, Tsar Alexander I, reissued her proclamation. In the chaos of the Napoleonic wars, Germans responded in great number .....

It went both ways. Russia and Prussia (then one of the most influential German kingdoms/principalities) exchange emigrants. The "Russian village" near the city of Potsdam still exists.

Russian Ortodox church came from Greece and Greece until WW1 was Russian empire princedom

Supposedly, a Greek monk Kyrill of Saloniki brought this alphabet to Russia. Considering Fomenko and the scant evidence for antiquity (Roman and Greek), I don't buy it.

Wow! There are fake silhouettes on top of that building! That is pretty creepy when you consider the barren streets.. View attachment 33652

It’s State Hermitage Museum, there are still dozens of statues on top of it. Can’t be sure if those are exactly the same though.

What I find interesting that those signs are nowhere near in their quality when compared to the buildings they are hanging on. People who built all that would have never disrespected these structures with such an ugliness, imho. To me it looks like a claim laying.

Back at school, I was told that some rules existed in Saint-Petersburg prescribing how any signs on the buildings should look like. They’d have to be passed through an approval process before they were allowed to be used. Since it’s Nevsky prospekt (=avenue; main street here), for sure, all outer decorations should have been closely looked at, which doesn’t seem to be the case here.
According to citywalls.ru (the best Russian resource about Saint-Petersburg, you can find information about almost any local building there; Link), it was Dutch church who owned the building. They occupied the middle section (the one with columns), the left and right sections were being rented out. It can explain why there are many organizations in the left one (exhibitions, a shopping center, etc), but, for sure, not the ugliness of the signs - what’s the point of erecting a glorious building in the first place then, if you don’t plan to preserve the beauty? I absolutely agree with you, @KorbenDallas

I was thinking ,so let me get this straight the Bolsheviks killed the nobility to free themselves from bondage to royal excess then the restored this and thousands of other buildings like it! Russia is chock loaded with outrageously ornate relics of the hated nobility. apparently they have no lack of skilled craftsmen who know how to do restore everything from walls to furniture and statues and fabrics and painting and metal smithing and jewelery all of it

I'm starting to believe St. Petersburg was not excavated, but instead, it was the original Novgorod.
Velikiy Novgorod was just a kremlin to guard the southern border of the province. After all, its near St. Petersburg.
The story about the excavation seems to be a coverup. A plague might have killed the population, but TPTB needed to hide it for some reason.
Maybe this have something to do with the Habsburgs, whose name also means "new city". However, -burg and -grad were also used to indicate a "fortress", and only later became "city". Fortresses were manned by the military, and the military were the aristocracy, the rulers. So, Habsburg could also mean "new fortress" or simply "new elite".

Hello. I'm new to this site and this is my first post.. As I'm reading all your posts I'm learning so much from all of you. I've read some posts that ask why we don't know our own history and I found that so intriguing.

I just watched a PBS documentary on the influenza epidemic in 1918 and two things from it made me think of this thread. The first was they said the flu just stopped. In October 1918 it killed 165,000 people in the US and in November people just stopped becoming infected. One minute they were wondering if this flu was going to be the end of humanity and the next it just stops. Was this a manipulated pandemic or a test?

And second the survivors said that they and society just forgot about it, erased it from their minds and moved on. Could this be the reason i.e., mud floods, that no one seems to remember? Remember the recent mass shooting in Las Vegas? Its never mentioned any more because IMHO it never was what they told us it was so let's just all forget it ever happened. Very odd....

It does not appear that far-fetched any longer. Exposure, quarantine or worse? Hm...
