PETERSBURG St. Petersburg founded in 1703 is one of the most important scientific, cultural and tourist centers not only in Russia, but also worldwide. Unique architectural ensembles, enchantment of numerous rivers and canals, attire of suburban palace-and-park ensembles --- all this makes the image of St. Petersburg inimitable and enticing. St. Petersburg is called the cultural capital of Russia. There are over hundred museums in the city, including the Hermitage and the Russian Museum with their invaluable collections; lots of musical and theatre festivals and exhibitions are held. It would be provided also pre- and post-conference tours to Moscow and Veliky Novgorod. ____________________________________________________________________________ PRIA-10-2010 SECRETARIAT All issues concerning PRIA-10-2010 should be directed to MOSCOW: PRIA-10-2010 Secretariat Institution of the RAS “Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the RAS” 40, Vavilov str., Moscow 119333 Russian Federation e-mail: pria2010@ccas.ru tel.: +7 (499) 135 88 31, 135 90 33 fax: +7 (499) 135 90 33 ST.
