I have seen questions regarding the meaning of "Prospekt". In English, one of the definitions of "prospect" is an expansive view into the distance. Also there is the idea of a prospect as being the imagination or visualization of a future event. So when one looks down Nevsky Prospekt one is viewing down the street off into its far end. Maybe this is related to the Russian meaning of the word meaning a wide boulevard that goes off into the distance.
My calculation is that petrol (gasoline) in Russia costs something like 2.50 dollars per gallon. Gasoline today in St. Louis, USA was 2.80 dollars per gallon but that is much lower than it is in other parts of the United States. In Chicago a couple weeks ago I paid closer to 3.50 dollars per gallon. In Canada it's higher.
I feel safe in the central districts of North American cities (US and Canada) but there are usually areas near the downtown with run-down dwellings and populations with lower incomes that have high crime rates. Everyone knows which neighborhoods should be avoided.
Thank you for wonderful video! It is really interesting and motivating! Cannot wait when all of us start travel again! Thank you for helping to promote tourism! It helps our economy .

Sergey—-don't worry about confusing the words "convenient" with "convent". Your English is excellent. English is difficult.
