The real St. Petersburg was called Petrograd from 1914 (when Tsar Nicholas II changed it at the outbreak of World War I, to make it sound less German) to 1924 (when Lenin died and Stalin changed it to Leningrad in his honor). In OWaW, it was probably always called Petrograd; in any event, there'd be no reason for the Orussians to have started calling it Leningrad.

Yes.
