Des Français à Saint-Pétersbourg by Klod5
Depuis Pierre le Grand et la fondation de Saint-Pétersbourg sur les bords de la Néva et ce jusqu?à la Révolution d?Octobre 1917 des architectes, peintres, savants, bâtisseurs, ingénieurs, industriels et banquiers français prirent une part active à la création de la Capitale du Nord, aidèrent à son développement et à son épanouissement. L?auteur du premier bâtiment de la ville - une forteresse en bois en terre battue - fut l?officier du génie Joseph-Gaspard LAMBERT DE GUERIN, général de France en service en Russie. L?architecte Jean-Baptiste LEBLOND fut invité de France pour créer un jardin "à l?image de celui de Versailles", jardin que Pierre le Grand qualifia "de vraie curiosité". LEBLOND amena avec lui en 1716 toute une équipe de ciseleurs, de dessinateurs, de fondeurs, de tailleurs de pierre, de bijoutiers et autres maîtres artisans français. Les nouveaux venus devaient non seulement travailler à Saint-Pétersbourg mais aussi former des Russes "sans rien cacher ou taire". Sur l?île Vassilievski, à côté du Palais Menchikov, se forma tout un faubourg français. Pierre lui-même, connaissant bien les arts et métiers, y venait de temps en temps et "daignait s?intéresser aux travaux". Of the French in St.-Petersburg Since Peter the Big and the foundation of St.-Petersburg on the sides of the Neva and this until the Revolution of October 1917 of the architects, painters, scientists, builders, engineers, industrial and French bankers took an active part to the creation of the Capital of the North, helped towards its development and its blossoming. The author of the first building of the city - a fortress in wood in clay - was the genius's officer Joseph-Gaspard LAMBERT OF GUERIN, general of France in service in Russia. Architect John the Baptist LEBLOND was invited of France to create a garden "to the picture of the one of Versailles", garden that Peter the Big qualified "true curiosity". LEBLOND brought with him in 1716 all a team of carvers, of drawers, of smelters, of stone tailors, of jewelers and other masters French craftsmen. The newcomers had to not only work in St.-Petersburg but also to form some Russians " without hiding anything or to say nothing about ". On the Vassilievski island, next to the Palace Menchikov, formed itself a whole French suburb. Peter himself, knowing the arts and professions well, came there from time to time and "condescended to be interested in works".
