Companionship wanted: Stepan's local history and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Saint Petersburg to visit Stepan once a week.

Saint Petersburg
I'm writing for my neighbor Stepan, who's 79. Stepan lives alone in Saint Petersburg, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Stepan loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
