By the way, there is a Catharine's palace also in Twer (however, there the restorers have still most of their work ahead - the picture continues to show Puschkin!) and probably a handful further places between Moscow and Petersburg. When the high society was traveling from the one capital to the other, some 200 years ago this didn't work out within one day, and then one had to be decently accommodated also in the overnight rests.
