Recorded voices: (The Neva flows, a new wind blows and soon it will be spring...)

" We hear you, comrades! Revolution hears you! " Gleb shouted to the crowd of hungry people. " Together we will forge a new Russia, that will be the envy of all the world! The tsar's St. Petersburg is now the people's Leningrad!"

_____________________________________

Through 7 years a lot has changed... Now Soviet Russia took place of the Empire and Bolsheviks were ruling...

" Leningrad... Crappy name.." 17 years old Polina murmured with disgusted face. Her brother, Dimitri nodded. " Crappy name, Crappy times..."

Polina : For five years times were better.. Now again they're not! Can't cook an empty promise in an empty pot!

Dimitri laughed sarcastically, after quoting Gleb's last speech.

Dimitri : "A brighter day is dawning! It's almost at hand."

His sister got annoyed, took of her hat and hit him with it on the head.

Polina: The skies are grey..

Dimitri : The walls have years...

Polina & Dimitri : And who argues, disappears!

People: Hail our brave new land!

They could call the city ' Leningrad ' but it will ALWAYS be Petersburg. People had no choice. It was either, you obey or you die... But they still had a hope that the tsar and his family will come back.

People: St. Petersburg is booming... A city on the raise..

Woman #1: It's really, very friendly...

Woman #2: If you don't mind spies...

Man #1: We stand behind our leaders...

Man #2: And stand in line for bread...

People: We're good and loyal comrades and our favorite color's red!

Dimitri : Now everyone is " equal".

Polina : Profesors push the brooms...

Polina, Dimitri & rest of the people: Two dozen total strangers live in two small rooms!
You called a revolution and here's the price you pay!

People: Thank goodness for the gossip...

Men: (Spasibo za skluhi*!)

People: Thank goodness for the gossip that gets as through the day!
Hey!
Have you heard? There's a rumor in St. Petersburg... Have you heard, what they're saying on the streets..?

Man: Tsar and his family have survived, goddaughter, too, may be alive...

People : The countess Ipolitov!

Man: But please, do not repeat.

People: It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery... Something whispered in an allyway or through a crack... It's a rumor that's part of our history...!
