Activists of the 'Living St.Petersburg' movement wear costumes imitating historical buildings of the city as they get ready for a protest against plans by Russian state-controlled gas monopoly Gazprom to construct its headquarters in St. Petersburg November 21, 2006. Bold designs for the Gazprom building in St Petersburg envision the headquarters on the embankment of the Neva River as futuristic skyscrapers, which critics say clash with the historical skyline of St. Petersburg.
