## Caption

#AroundTheWorldIn8Days The Palace Square in St. Petersburg has a rich and violent history being the site of both Bloody Sunday and the October Revolution of 1917. Though the palace now houses a museum rather than the defunct monarchy, the square remains a site for protest. Most recently, gay activists have used the site for rallies often clashing with the Russian police. #Russia #StPetersburg #History #WinterPalace
