>>Question: 59° 54' 45" N, 26° 15' 44" E is not the location of >>Petrograd (in context I'm assuming this is the city usually known as >>St. Petersburg in English) > >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). old joke:
a man is filling out a Form for Pension... Name: Ivan Petrovitch City of Birth: Petrograd City of Schooling: St. Petersburg City of Employment: Leningrad City of Current Residence: Stalingrad ... he's lived in the same apartment his whole life. -Z --- Remember kids: guns make you stupid, duct tape makes you smart.
