I was in St Petersburg in end January 04. Looks like they are along walking and asking for directions along Nevsky Prospect. (in Feb, temp is 0 to -5C)). Since they did not feature the famous Hermitage or Pushkin. And from the opening video clips, there is a shot of Pavlovsk Palace and park located 27 kilometers away from St Petersburg. This may be a roadblock or Detour destination.
There is an opening time for this grand palace from 10am to 6pm.
Pavlovsk can be reached by suburban train from Vitebsk Station or from Kupchino subway station. But it can be in Episode 4 or 5.

Welcome to the board, realityblues. Always better to have insights from people who have actually traveled to the TAR locations. Am I mistaken, or is the Russian leg the first TAR episode to be run at night? Freezing cold, dark streets, "useless foreigners" who don't speak English (just kidding), makes for great TV.

Edited to add:
Here's some links to Nevskiy Prospect and Pushkin pitstop.

This may not be "at night". Think how far north you are and not all that far from the shortest day of the year. May be late afternoon or even early morning.

There's barely 8 hours daylight in St Petes in early February so there definitely wasn't much choice but to do the race in the dark.

Also, could the player who's not sure she can continue be suffering from the cold? The caviar eating would make me want to quit, but I don't think it's that repulsive. However, anyone who's from the southern states and not used to any 'real' winter weather would feel the effects more than someone from the northern US. Getting lost, and possibly not having proper winter woolies might do it though.

"This may not be "at night". Think how far north you are..."

Point taken. Looks like St.Pete at 59° N latitude gets slightly more daylight than Anchorage, AK in the winter. (he he he). How gloomy, but ideal for "getting lost" as reported in the previews. Good catch.

Did anyone else catch that they must have to do something with hockey? I think I was Charla in a goalie outfit in the net.

I did catch that blip on the screen. Although it looked liked that Mirna was with her in the goal. Might be a roadblock.

Perhaps a re-imagining of the soccer challenge from last year where they had to score a goal on a teenage soccer team?

Make a save and/or score a goal against a Russian hockey player?

And then there is the caviar challenge. Looks like they have to eat their way through that one...

Apologies if this has been posted already (just back from vacation, getting back to the boards)

The video preview on the CBS web site shows both Mirna and Schmirna (Charla) in the hockey goal. So hockey is not the Roadblock. I suspect that caviar is the Roadblock.

Vidcaps #1-3 look like there is bunching while waiting for a bus from Bariloche back to Buenos Aires. The dialog suggests that there is limited seating (on each bus), ergo the fighting to be first in line.

Patagonia to BA means lots of backtracking, boring travel, then on to Russia to arrive sleep deprived. Cool, can't wait till next week.

Yeah, it's definitely a bus back to BA. (Semi Cama, Cama, are all types of busses.) That's gonna be a loooong haul, probably more than 17 hours (as I've taken a bus from Santiago to about that far south). Bus rides SUCK! No a/c, screaming babies, crappy food...

Something that struck me as strange ~ ususally we have the next boot featured in one of the preview shots for the next week....but last week Jim and marsha were not featured at all. Were they not good TV or is CBS changing their style a little?

This week show C/M, C/C, N/B and L/M ~ does this mean they are safe?
