Is st petersburg now Stalingrad?
It didn't. Stalingrad changed its name to Volgograd after Stalin's death. Stalin's successor, Nikita Khrushchev, (rightfully) criticised the way Stalin had treated his people. St Petersburg was originally founded in the 18th Century by Tsar Peter the Great, who wanted to create a modern European-style capital for the Russian Empire. When World War I began, its name was considered too German and it was changed to Petrograd. After the death of Vladimir Lenin, it became Leningrad for the rest of the Communist Regime. In 1991, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a referendum vote led to the restoration of the name St Petersburg.
