Храм ПреÑвÑтой Троицы («Кулич и ПаÑха») в С.-Петербурге
Roughly translated as Holy Trinity Presbytery, St Petersburg, the bit in brackets defeating me, although it has something to do with Easter. My last Russian lesson was about 60 years ago (yes, I did a couple of years in school, in my early teens. My teacher was one of the Semeneoffs).
Do I get my extra brownie points?Brian (the devil incarnate)

Well, my translation wasn't that bad, after all! I wonder why they call it a presbytery, rather than a church: does the word have a different meaning in Russian?Originally posted by KurtBrian (the devil incarnate)

Commune or metro area?? Can't find a commune with that many inhabitants.
Anyway,..I'd have said south of France or north Italy or Greece (less likely).Comment

If the City of London has about 1,000 inhabitants, it seems reasonable to assume a metropolitan area, but I have no clue how the figure is derived.Originally posted by Kurt
