Where: A bathroom in a midsized apartment in the center of St. Petersburg.

A different photograph shows a larger view of this bathroom.

The window in the bathroom looks out on the courtyard. Half is opaque glass. The other half is temporarily covered with a sheet of thick paper, probably because the glass has broken.
