Zimnij dvorets, IPA: [?z?imn??j dv??r??ts]) was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Today, the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. Situated between Palace Embankment and Palace Square, in Saint Petersburg, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great 's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. [1] The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein 's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution. The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar [2] ruled over 22, 400, 000 square kilometers (8, 600, 000?sq?mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125?million subjects by the end of the 19th century. [ citation needed] It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 215 metres (705?ft) long and 30?m (98?ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1, 886 doors, 1, 945 windows, 1, 500 rooms and 117 staircases. [3] Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a "19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style". [4] In 1905, the Bloody Sunday massacre occurred when demonstrators marched toward the Winter Palace, but by this time the Imperial Family had chosen to live in the more secure and secluded Alexander Palace at Tsarskoe Selo, and returned to the Winter Palace only for formal and state occasions. Following the February Revolution of 1917, the palace was for a short time the seat of the Russian Provisional Government, led by Alexander Kerensky. Later that same year, the palace was stormed by a detachment of Red Army soldiers and sailors?a defining moment in the birth of the Soviet state. Peter the Great's Winter Palace (1711?1753) [ edit] The first Winter Palace, designed in 1711 for Peter the Great, by Domenico Trezzini who, 16 years later, was to design the third Winter Palace. Upon returning from his Grand Embassy in 1698, Peter I of Russia embarked on a policy of Westernization and expansion that was to transform the Tsardom of Russia into the Russian Empire and a major European power. [5] This policy was manifested in bricks and mortar by the creation of a new city, Saint Petersburg, in 1703. [6] The culture and design of the new city was intended as a conscious rejection of traditional Byzantine -influenced Russian architecture, such as the then-fashionable Naryshkin Baroque, in favour of the classically inspired architecture prevailing in the great cities of Europe. The Tsar intended that his new city would be designed in a Flemish renaissance style, later known as Petrine Baroque, and this was the style he selected for his new palace in the city. The first Royal residence on the site had been a humble log cabin then known as the Domik Petra I, built in 1704, which faced the River Neva. In 1711 it was transported to the Petrovskaya Naberezhnaya [7], where it still stands. [8] With the site cleared, the Tsar then embarked on the building of a larger house between 1711 and 1712. This house, today referred to as the first Winter Palace, was designed by Domenico Trezzini. [9] The 18th century was a period of great development in European royal architecture, as the need for a fortified residence gradually lessened. This process, which had begun in the late 16th century, accelerated and great classical palaces quickly replaced fortified castles throughout the more powerful European countries. One of the earliest and most notable examples was Louis XIV 's Versailles. Largely completed by 1710, Versailles?with its size and splendour?heightened rivalry amongst the sovereigns of Europe. Peter the Great of Russia, keen to promote all western concepts, wished to have a modern palace like his fellow sovereigns. However, unlike some of his successors, Peter I never aspired to rival Versailles. The third Winter Palace of 1727. Designed by Domenico Trezzini it incorporated the second Winter Palace of 1721 by Georg Mattarnovy as one of its terminating pavilions. The first Winter Palace was a modest building of two main floors under a slate roof. [10] It seems that Peter soon tired of the first palace, for in 1721 the second version of the Winter Palace was built under the direction of architect Georg Mattarnovy. Mattarnovy's palace, though still very modest compared to royal palaces in other European capitals, was on two floors above a rusticated ground floor, with a central projection underneath a pediment supported by columns. [11] It was here that Peter the Great died in 1725. The Winter Palace was not the only palace in the unfinished city, or even the most splendid, as Peter had ordered his nobles to construct stone built residences and to spend half the year there. [12] This was an unpopular command; Saint Petersburg was founded upon a swamp, with little sunlight, and it was said only cabbages and turnips would grow there. It was forbidden to fell trees for fuel, so hot water was permitted just once a week. Only Peter's second wife, Empress Catherine, pretended to enjoy life in the new city. [12] As a result of pressed slave labour from all over the Empire, [13] work on the city progressed quickly. It has been estimated that 200, 000 people died in twenty years while building the city. [13] A diplomat of the time, who described the city as "a heap of villages linked together, like some plantation in the West Indies", just a few years later called it "a wonder of the world, considering its magnificent palaces". [14] Some of these new palaces in Peter's beloved Flemish Baroque style, such as the Kikin Hall and the Menshikov Palace, still stand. The palace 1725?1855 [ edit] The principal or " Jordan Staircase ", (8 on the plan below) so-called because on the Feast of the Epiphany the Tsar descended this Imperial staircase in state for the ceremony of the "Blessing of the Waters. " It is one of the few parts of the palace retaining Rastrelli's 18th century rococo style. The massive grey granite columns were, however, added in the mid-19th century. Painting by Konstantin Ukhtomsky. [15] On Peter the Great's death in 1725, the city of Saint Petersburg was still far from being the centre of western culture and civilization that he had envisioned. Many of the aristocrats who had been compelled by the Tsar to inhabit Saint Petersburg left. Wolves roamed the squares at night while bands of discontented pressed serfs, imported to build the Tsar's new city and Baltic fleet, frequently rebelled. Peter I was succeeded by his widow, Catherine I, who reigned until her death in 1727. She in turn was succeeded by Peter I's grandson Peter II, who in 1727 had Mattarnovy's palace greatly enlarged by the architect Domenico Trezzini. [8] Trezzini, who had designed the Summer Palace in 1711, was one of the greatest exponents of the Petrine Baroque style, now completely redesigned and expanded Mattarnovy's existing Winter Palace to such an extent that Mattarnovy's entire palace became merely one of the two terminating pavilions of the new, and third, Winter Palace. [16] The third palace, like the second, was in the Petrine Baroque style. In 1728, shortly after the third palace was completed, the Imperial Court left Saint Petersburg for Moscow, and the Winter Palace lost its status as the principal imperial residence. Moscow had once again been designated the capital city, a status which had been granted to Saint Petersburg in 1713. Following the death of Peter II in 1730, the throne passed to a niece of Peter I, Anna Ivanovna, Duchess of Courland. Anna (1730?1740) [ edit] The new Empress cared more for Saint Petersburg than her immediate predecessors; she re-established the Imperial court at the Winter Palace and, in 1732, Saint Petersburg again officially replaced Moscow as Russia's capital, a position it was to hold until 1918. Ignoring the third Winter Palace, the Empress on her return to Saint Petersburg took up residence at the neighbouring Apraksin Palace. [8] In 1732, the Tsaritsa commissioned the architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli to completely rebuild and extend the Apraksin Palace, incorporating other neighbouring houses. [17] Thus, the core of the fourth and final Winter Palace is not the palace of Peter the Great, but the palace of Admiral General Fyodor Matveyevich Apraksin. [8] The Empress Anna, though unpopular and considered "dull, coarse, fat, harsh and spiteful", [18] was keen to introduce a more civilized and cultured air to her court. She designed new liveries for her servants and, on her orders, mead and vodka were replaced with champagne and Burgundy. She instructed the Boyars to replace their plain furniture with that of mahogany and ebony, [19] while her own tastes in interior decoration ran to a dressing table of solid gold and an " easing stool " of silver, studded with rubies. It was against such a backdrop of magnificence and extravagance that she gave her first ball in the newly completed gallery at the Winter Palace, which, in the middle of the Russian winter, resembled an orange grove. [20] This, the fourth version of the Winter Palace, was to be an ongoing project for the architect Rastrelli throughout the reign of the Empress Anna.

This movies based on the short story “the quiet boy” its very good and I highly recommend giving it a read. If horror movies had flavors, this one would be vanilla. He reminds me of The Dude with that hairstyle lol The movie looks interesting. Half of this trailer is just characters staring off into space. WINTER is upon us. There have been record-breaking cold snaps, icy sidewalks and blizzards. Nobody wants to leave the apartment. And why should we? This is New York City, where anything can be ordered in. We are not the Donner party, you and me. Me especially. My assignment this last week, as the great blizzards threatened the city: Retreat to my cramped one-bedroom in Greenwich Village, with the office in the bedroom and the picturesque, but wobbly, junkyard pedestal sink, and attempt -- aided only by the phone book and the Internet -- to transform it into the Winter Palace. Does being a shut-in have to mean moo shu chicken and HBO? Or can I import the lush life? Do not, for once, be burdened by concerns about cash. Order in a masseuse, a hairdresser, a manicurist. Do not fret about missing the white sale at Bloomingdale's; ask the personal shopper to find you the sheets. Better yet, order silk pajamas. Turn cabin fever into caviar dreams. I have my own idea of the luxe winter life: curling up on the couch with a trashy book, a box of fancy chocolates and a nice fat cat. I don't happen to have a cat, but this is New York; I know of an animal talent agency -- I can rent. Five p. m. Tuesday, with WINS predicting 5 to 10 inches of snow, I am home. Provisions are scant: I am out of my most important food group, Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi. But in a town that delivers, that can be fixed. First order of business: Call Ariston Florist, just down the way on 14th Street. For a blizzard, they suggest lilies, roses and freesia -- maybe hyacinth. Damage: $175, plus $20 tip. Restocking the Diet Pepsi is not so easy: it's too late for Gristedes and the Jefferson Market to deliver. Things could get ugly if I do not get my Diet Pepsi; I could have my own little Donner party moment, I could become a Donnette. Still, who needs Diet Pepsi when you can call up Bouley or Le Cirque 2000 and have dinner delivered with the magic words, Money -- no, too crude, make that -- Cost is no object. That evening, with the heavy snow falling, I call Balthazar and request dinner for two in the West Village. Only Pastis delivers, they say. Sorry, Charlie, I love Pastis, but tonight it's going to be luxe. On to Bouley. ''We don't do that, they say. On to Le Cirque. Sorry, a man says, But we do not deliver dinners here. '' Big fat liar! I bet if your name is Kissinger.... The luxe life is getting to be very stressful. I call Bergdorf's and Bigelow's for bath oil, but at 6, it's too late for delivery today. No luck with a cat, either. The Dawn Animal Agency, which supplies animal actors, is manned by an answering service. Bide-a-Wee will not do a three-day loan. Getting my books in New York, however, will certainly be a snap. Barnes & Noble has posters all over the subway touting their same-day delivery service, with Shakespeare running down the street. I want Carrie Fisher's new book, The Best Awful, a roman à clef about her failed marriage to a gay studio chief, and American Sucker, so I can feel smarter than David Denby, even though he writes for The New Yorker. I phone the closest Barnes & Noble, on Union Square. ''We don't deliver books from this store, a salesperson says. What about that picture of Shakespeare running down the street? That's 1-800-The-Book. '' That turns out to be the Internet division, but it's so confusing I'm not sure how fast anything will get here. My friend Lew, a media writer, will be here any minute for dinner. Pastis suddenly seems like a great idea. Twenty dollars for delivery, they tell me, the zone ends at Sixth Avenue. My apartment is between Fifth and Sixth, but why haggle? I order steak frites with béarnaise and fried chicken and chocolate mousse and a tarte Tatin. Damage: $126. 50. Then I call Crossroads, my local wine store. The saleswoman, Suzanne Stevens, suggests a Château Léoville Poyferré 1997, St. Julien, for $29. 99, and a 1997 Lesec Hermitage red Rhone wine for $44. 99. The wine is nice, but the Pastis meals disappoint. The frites are froid; the steak is kind of cool, too. I reheat the frites, first in the microwave, which makes them soggy, then in a pan, which does the trick. Twice-fried frites. Just about then, Barbara Austin calls me from the Dawn Animal Agency. ''Cats don't adapt just like that when they go into a strange environment, Ms. Austin says. It's not going to be sitting on your lap. They've got to get to know you. '' But what I want is so simple, I say. A loving fat cat to sleep with me as the winter winds howl. The sound of its soothing purr. Their animals are actors, right? Let 'em act. I just need the cat a few days. We do not leave animals with strangers, Ms. Austin says, coolly. ''There are a lot of weird people in the world. We don't want to provide a kitty for somebody's pit bull to practice on. Wednesday morning there is six inches of snow on the ground -- a wonderful morning for coffee, croissants, pan chocolat, and the papers. Cafe Lebowitz in SoHo delivers, even though I am out of the district. I told him you'd tip really well, '' the young clerk says. I do $10 for an $8. 70 tab, even though he forgets the papers. Securing my books, however, is still a problem. Barnes & Noble's 1-800-The-Book has me on hold for 20 minutes, until I hang up on them. Carolyn Epstein, the owner of the Biography Bookshop, on the corner of Bleecker and 11th Streets, has the books, but not the staff -- it's out shoveling snow. She suggests Your Neighborhood Office, a few blocks away, at 332 Bleecker Street; their people run errands. Now we're talking! I have a Neighborhood Office guy to get my books, pick up the papers, then stop across the street at the Magnolia Bakery and get half a dozen cupcakes. I prefer pink and blue icing. I will have the perfect snowbound lunch, reading how dumb David Denby was and eating the icing off the cupcakes with my finger. Only the icing! Live large, toss the cake away. There's no time for relaxing, however, because I have to take another shot at elegant dining. I call restaurant Alain Ducasse and explain that it is my one-year anniversary and my husband is trapped in the house with a broken leg and I long to do something elegant only Ducasse could do. A cold, light supper perhaps? I could send a car. The woman I speak with seems sympathetic. The maître d'hôtel will be in at 3:15, she says, and she will ask. Promising. Now, I'll shop. The key here is comfort, I tell the Bloomingdale's personal shopper. I want to get into bed and not come out until spring. Move over! she says. While some things I want -- the cashmere socks and silk pajamas -- are sold out, the shopper has other suggestions for comfort: a soft, cuddly robe; scented candles and bath oils (I think citrus would be nice); exotic chocolates. My massage, on the other hand, is a problem. I call half a dozen spas, including exhale, Completely Bare, La Prairie, Elizabeth Arden, the Spa at the Peninsula. It's getting to be as draining as reporting a tough news story, only in this case it's a mellow, soothing voice telling me, Please Hold, Let me transfer you, No. No one wants to send anyone to a private home; it's an insurance liability. Finally, someone suggests an independent contractor, Juan Johnson, who is working Midtown. I have by now become intrigued by something called hot stone therapy. Mr. Johnson, who says his friends call him J. J., says that would be kind of a hassle -- he'd have to go home to Mount Vernon to get the roaster for the stones. But he's game. He'll be at my house around 6. The call back from Ducasse comes soon after: Sorry, they're not equipped to do takeout. The Four Seasons? Not equipped. Six-thirty, the Bloomie's box arrives. The robe is a terrible shade of greenish-beige. The body oil's scent is grapefruit. The exotic chocolate is a box of Godivas, which, while I love them, are not the exotic mix I had in mind. The only thing that works for me is the Aromatherapy of Rome scented candle, with its rejuvenating mix of orange and ylang-ylang. The rest of this stuff will have to get back to Bloomingdale's. Correction. Somehow, I have to get it back. The lush life, by now, has me wrung out. I'm desperate for a Diet Pepsi, I've been so busy trying to have a luxe dinner experience that I forgot to order it, and now it's again too late in the day for delivery. A few minutes later, J. J., who I have started to think of as Hot Rocks, calls. There's the sound of traffic behind him and he's sounding very shook-up. He got into a blizzard-related car accident on the Deegan, he says. There was a little spin-out in front of him, everybody hit the brakes, he got rear-ended. Then he had to wait for the cops to come. If I really need him, he'll come, but he'd rather not. You sound as if you need the massage more than I do, I tell him. ''I'm going through a little trauma, Hot Rocks says. When things happen, you get the nervous excitement. It'll be better after I get some sleep. Not that I think I'll get much sleep tonight. '' I need a drink. Cristal! I call my pals at Crossroads and, after telling me how to chill it properly (small cubes and water for maximum coverage), they send the delivery guy over with their last bottle: $249. 84 with tax. They've also had him pick up the ice. On the house, he says. Okay! The lush life, my first taste of Cristal, at last! It would probably be even lusher if I did not have to find my tarnished Salvation Army silver Champagne cooler and shine it, and the scent of silver polish was not overwhelming the rejuv
