Sinds de Perestrojka biedt ook het 19e eeuwse 'Oktober Hotel' in St.Petersburg in zijn kamers ruimte aan vele vluchtige bedrijven en kantoortjes. Tegen een achtergrond van gebarsten grandeur leeft overdag voorzichtig het kapitalisme. In dit opzicht vormt het 'Oktober Hotel' een mikrokosmos van het (over)leven in Rusland nu.
