according to The Telegraph, Russia may end up disintegrating entirely over this https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/24/russia-verge-collapse-elites-try-escape-wagner-coup/
Imagine if St. Petersburg and maybe Moscow were part of a new democratic nation that eventually joins the EU or at least opens up borders and trade with EU like Norway and Switzerland for an example. I'd probably visit Petersburg at least.
One can dream.
i'd honestly love to visit St. Petersburg if that happens
It's honestly a beautiful city and us Estonians used to have cruises to Petersburg much like there are cruises to Stockholm. I never went because I don't speak Russian and I've been uneasy about visiting the country under its' current regime, but if things change for the better, I'm tempted to go.
