 Knights' Tournament went off in Priozersk Friday. / St.Petersburg city news / Petersburg CITY / Guide to St. ...
PRIOZERSK, Leningrad Oblast - One of the disadvantages of being a 21st century knight is that without your trusty steed you may find yourself stranded and hostage to technology.
Several dozen knights missed Friday's afternoon activities at the Knights' Tournament in Priozersk, 180 kilometers north of St. Petersburg, because their train from St. Petersburg was cancelled.
However, the mood was ebullient in the 9th century fortress of Korela, as scores of enthusiasts gathered for a two-day celebration of medieval European weaponry and martial arts, which culminated in Saturday's re-enactment of the storming of the fortress by Russian soldiers in 1295.

PRIOZERSK, Kazakhstan (Reuters) - Russia's military has feted the 45th anniversary of its most famous missile test site, a sun-scorched base on the Kazakh steppe which shot down American Gary Powers's U2 spy plane in 1960.
By the early 60s the town, widely cursed for its harsh climate, had nevertheless turned into a Mecca for young and ambitious missile experts and army officers seeking, and often obtaining, good careers and high salaries.
But the military's former optimism has gone, and so has the prestige of serving in the once-elite rocket forces which are often underfunded due to Russia's perennial economic woes.
