St. Petersburg, previously Leningrad, a city in the north of Russia, also hosts the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
For example, St Petersburg hosted the 2016 SPIEF conference, an international event with thousands of participants, visitors, speakers and speeches.
The Forum, in addition to its focus on Russian and international financial issues, also hosts social events that allow for participants to visit this city. Here are a few images (left) courtesy of the SPIEF forum organisers and newsagency TASS.
