Webcam Pushkin. Peterburgskoe highway, Detskoselsky Boulevard (Leningrad region).
The city of Pushkin (Leningrad region), founded in 1710, is among the settlements of the Russian Federation with the most colorful history. It grew up on the estate of Swedish nobles, which later belonged to Prince Menshikov. In the 1860s the destiny of the princely estate changed dramatically. It became a residence of Russian autocrats, and later received a new name - Tsarskoe Selo.
In 1808 the village officially became a polis, renamed in honor of the great Russian poet 131 years later. The famous Tsarskoselsky Lyceum, which gave the Fatherland a pleiad of outstanding statesmen and public figures, was located here.
