The February Revolution in Russia in 1917 broke out spontaneously in Petrograd, Russia as a city wide protest demonstration and general strike. Things then spread to other cities as well and calmed down only when news of the Tsar's abdication was announced.

Petrograd had been St. Petersburg, then Petrograd, then Leningrad and is now St. Petersburg again.
