  St Petersburg's structures lay over the skeletons of the press-ganged servant workers who worked to build it, making it the label "the city built on bones." Historians approximate that 100,000 18th-century slaves are buried underneath the city's stunning Italianate estates and large Parisian-style streets.They passed away of cold, appetite, illness, or, if they were truly unfortunate, wolves. They were drawn from all around the Russian Empire at the time. They dedicated their lives for the magnificence of Imperial Russia, and the city they built, St Petersburg, stands as a testimony to the Russian state's single-mindedness.Its extravagant palaces radiate European elegance and were actively built in a Western way to bring Russia closer to Europe.Still, more than 3 centuries later, Russia has yet to finish this journey, and St Petersburg is a witness to the trouble of the journey.Let’s take a look at what else makes Saint Petersburg such a unique place.

  South End Syndicate - How I Took...

  Anthony Arillotta, Joe Bradley

  In 2003, local Genovese family captain "Big Al" Bruno got shot five times with a .45 caliber handgun as he walked out of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel social club in Springfield, Massachusetts. Since Vito Genovese took his empire north from New York City, a string of mobsters dating back a hundred years have operated in the Greater Springfield area. With this migration came murders, mayhem, treachery, criminal trials, and constant corruption. 
   
   
   
  Not until 2010 did authorities charge new Springfield Genovese boss Anthony "Bingy" Arillotta with Bruno's murder. At the time, Arillotta's connections spanned the Northeast—from the Patriarca family in Rhode Island to the Angiulos in Boston to the Gambinos and Bonannos in New York, and from Billy Grasso and Whitey Tropiano in New Haven to Whitey Bulger's Winter Hill Gang. During his seven-year reign, Arillotta had beautiful women, total power, and millions in cash. But it eventually came with a devastating price. 
   
   
   
  South End Syndicate tells the untold story of a young man infatuated with Springfield wiseguys who rose from being a street criminal to becoming his city's Mafia boss. How did a young Italian-American kid from Springfield work his way up the chain to become a Made wiseguy in charge of Western New England? Arillotta, now a free man, tells a timeless tale of power, money, and murder.

  The Morals of Diet - The First Step

  Leo Tolstoy

  Written in 1892, during the later years of his life, Leo Tolstoy’s The Morals of Diet reflects the profound spiritual transformation that reshaped his outlook after Anna Karenina and War and Peace. In the decades following his literary success, Tolstoy underwent a moral and religious awakening, renouncing wealth, privilege, and the comforts of aristocratic life. He sought a simpler, purer existence grounded in truth, humility, and nonviolence. This period gave rise to his moral essays — What I Believe, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, and The Morals of Diet (The First Step) — in which he strove to align daily actions with spiritual conscience. 
  The First Step emerges from this search for ethical coherence. Ostensibly an essay about vegetarianism, it is in fact a meditation on the nature of moral progress and the necessity of compassion. Tolstoy argues that abstaining from the killing of animals is the first, most tangible act of moral purification — “the first step” toward a life of genuine goodness. For him, cruelty, however subtle or socially accepted, degrades the human spirit. To refrain from violence, even in small forms, is to begin transforming one’s relationship to all living beings.
