summarizeEditor's Summary

I stumbled upon an interactive play in St. Petersburg that revealed a surprising connection to Father Frost. The display featured a large-scale decoration with the main characters of 'The Snow Queen' in honor of the play's 60th anniversary. It's clear that Father Frost has a presence in the city, but I'm not sure what business he has with the queen. I used this opportunity to explore the Lenfilm pavilion and discovered a unique experience that's worth sharing. The play was a great way to engage with the characters of 'The Snow Queen', and the large-scale decoration was impressive and added to the festive atmosphere. The event was well-organized, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

All the high-achieving kids know where Father Frost lives - and it's not in St. Petersburg, by the way. I'm talking about Veliky Ustyug, where they regularly write him letters and get presents.

But on one occasion, a St. Petersburg apartment belonging to Father Frost was unexpectedly discovered.

During the New Year's holidays, an interactive play called "New Year's Trees at Lenfilm" took place in the pavilion of Lenfilm, dedicated to the film "The Snow Queen," which will be 60 years old in 2026. In honor of the event, a large-scale decoration with the main characters of the fairy tale appeared in the lobby of the Lenfilm cinema on the first floor.

I have no idea what business the queen and Father Frost have together, but it looks like the old man is renting a room from the lovely lady.

When the owner was away, we decided to drop by for a visit.

It wasn't locked, and we didn't touch anything - he actually asked us not to.

Upon getting familiar with the interior, you can discover some unexpected details about Father Frost's life.

First of all, the attention-grabbing photos from his personal archive caught my eye.

It turns out, though the photos are a nice touch, Grandpa was buddies with just about everyone who lived on Lenfilm. I mean, he knew Hottabych, Holmes, and Cinderella - it's like he was the ultimate social butterfly!

Secondly, Grandpa has a real appreciation for Mayakovsky's work, Turgenev's, and he's also a huge fan of 19th-century English romantic poetry and classical Eastern drama - talk about eclectic tastes!

That's a pretty impressive scope! Oh, and he knows how to use a typewriter - or maybe it's his grandkids who do.

Petersburg's got a cozy little apartment, it's not as spacious as the one in Veliky Ustyug, but it's got everything you need right at your fingertips: a comfy chair, a Christmas tree with gingerbread, a fireplace, and a dresser, a lamp, and skis.

There's a stack of kids' letters on my desk with requests in them.

I guess Dad's just left to go fulfill his latest gig.

If you're feeling curious, you can stumble upon some hidden gems in the most unexpected places.

Looking closer, you'll notice that besides the queen, Kaya, and the scent of Father Frost, there are also some tiny guardians living in the hallway - the Sprites, who are part-time bookshop security.

It's a pretty diverse crew, but I guess they won't be friends for long. After all, as the saying goes, 'haste makes waste'!

Getting to the address is a breeze - just take the metro to Gor'kovskaya, walk down Kamennostrovsky Prospekt for a couple of minutes, and you'll run into some snowflakes:

Checking out the hotel grounds, you'll find the entrance right on track - the door:

Just a short walk from the Petrogradskaya Embankment, you can visit a whole crew of merry men in red costumes, scaling the hotel walls for some festive fun.

Check out the Ded Moroz crew for more New Year's cheer. Alternatively, head over to the Strelka of Vasilyevsky Island for the Parade of the Planets.
