Tour

July 9, 2006
Tsarskoe Selo – Pushkin.
Pushkin is a finest example of a royal family’s country residence. The original stone palace and gardens were built on a small estate 25 kilometers from the capital between 1717 and 1733 for the Empress Catherine I, wife of Peter the Great. A centerpiece of the complex is Catherine Palace. The greatest Russian architect of baroque period, Bartholomeo Rastrelli, created the design of the building, its ornamentation and interior layout, and oversaw the work of many artisans who had turned the place into a grandiose architectural ensemble set in the midst of huge parks. The town of Pushkin has strong connections with the greatest Russian poet, Alexander Pushkin, who spent his early years here.

Peterhof
Petrpodvorets is one of the greatest achievements of national culture, built in early 18th century on the southern shores of the Gulf of Finland as a royal summer residence. Terrace of Great Palace offers a wonderful view over the canal, sea, and world largest Great Cascade composed of 64 fountains and 255 bronze sculptures, crowned by the huge statue of Samson in the center of 21 m high fountain. Upper and Lower Parks, Montplaisir and Marly Palaces, the Hermitage Pavilion, 144 fountains demonstrate the elegant design which is never excessive.

All foreign participants of the CarboCat Symposium need a valid Passport and an entry visa to Russia

(Passports should be valid at least until January 15, 2007). The Organizing Committee advises the participants to apply for visa directly to the Russian Federation Consulates in your country without additional help from external travel agencies, which in case with Russia are known to be relatively effective only in tourist visas’applications. To arrange ordinary humane visa (scientific cooperation) formalities in time, please send to the Organizing Committee (E-mail: star@catalysis.ru) the table with the following information in English:

Please also send the copy of the 1st and 2nd pages of your passport (with photo)
as grafic black and white jpg. file (<100-200 kBite) by E-mail star@catalysis.ru. The same data should be send for each accompanying person. Key date for receiving all required data from participants is April, 30. After receiving your data the Organizing Committee will send all information to the St. Petersburg Scientific Center – organizer of the CarboCat Symposium. Your official invitation will be prepared in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in St. Petersburg. The invitations will be valid from July 1 until July 31, 2006. The St. Petersburg Scientific Center will send you official invitation to your fax number (or by post) after 40-50 days from the start of procedure.
