JOHN LENNON

The Beatles changed pop music forever. From their first single, “Love Me Do” (a Lennon – McCartney composition), in 1962, people recognized something different in their music than the usual pop songs at the time. Their songs seemed more tuneful, more exciting than what most artists were recording at the time. The Beatles were also more attractive than many other performers. Many more people began to listen to pop music than before. Soon, the group’s following was like nothing anyone had ever seen: a hysteria that the newspapers called “Beatlemania” swept Britain and soon, America.

Their second single, “Please Me” reached number one in March 1963. When the media focused on the new group, it soon became clear that Lennon was not like other pop stars. His answers to reporters’ questions showed an unusual intelligence and sense of humour. His character soon shone out: he always behaved in a completely different way than other people and hated artificiality. He was never quite comfortable with the Beatles’ “nice” image. In fact, it was Lennon who began to break away from this image and change the public image of the Beatles. His and McCartney’s music changed and became more “psychedelic”.

Highlights in architecture

In Peterine times the typical building had common stylistic traits such as clear silhouette, grace, modest exterior decoration and clear-cut planning. The buildings of the first thirty years of the city’s existence can be classified as Baroque Style of early period.

The building of the Twelve Colleges (architect Domenico Trezzini) was built between 1722 – 1742. It was designed for the twelve main ministries of the Government. Now it houses the State University.

Many residences, palaces and churches appeared in the city and its environs in the middle of the 18th century. They were richly decorated. This style came to be known in architectural history as Russian Baroque. The outstanding examples of this style are: The Smolny Convent, The Winter Palace, The Stroganov Palace (Architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli), The Cathedral of Saint Nicolas with its belfry standing separately (Savva Chevakinsky).

The second half of the 18th century was marked by the enrichment of the nobility and the wide scale construction of country estates.
