Petersburg free climbers managed to wriggle way onto the roof of the Hermitage Museum overnight into October 12, 2015.

      The youngsters uploaded photos and a video report in social networks, having commented on them: "We have climbed on the Hermitage, we are the first!!!"

      As a matter of fact, some other roofers already dared to do it back in December, 2013. Two free climbers sneaked onto the roof of the Hermitage Theater, from where they walked to the roofs of the Winter Palace and other buildings of the Hermitage complex.

      However, this time the roofers contrived to bypass all security posts and get right onto the Hermitage roof, without roundabout ways.

      It is a reminder, that after the first case the management of the Hermitage Museum expressed the idea about organizing legal excursions on the museum roofs.

      We should note, however, that after the present outing onto the roof of the Hermitage one of the roofers was detained by the police.
