Movies and TV series filmed in Saint Petersburg

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Saint Petersburg as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Saint Petersburg

17 productions shot at 97 places inside Saint Petersburg, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Saint Petersburg itself.

Named here by Saint Petersburg’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Saint Petersburg, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Saint Petersburg, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
