Feel Yourself Russian
You'll feel yourself very Russian indeed if you find yourself at this folkshow performance. Staged in two parts, the performance takes place in the restored and pleasant surrounds of the Nikolayevsky Palace. Starting with a peasant chorus who serenade the crowd, they are followed by around two hours of singing, dancing, sword tricks and general mayhem that  will have tourists clapping in unison in no time.
