sankt-peterburg
a proponent of westernising russia, peter the great, who established the city, originally named it sankt-peterburg (; note the russian name lacks the letter "s" between "peter" and "burg"). on 1 september 1914, after the outbreak of world war i, the imperial government renamed the city petrograd (), meaning "peter's city", in order to expunge the german words "sankt" and "burg". on 26 january 1924, shortly after the death of vladimir lenin, it was renamed to leningrad (), meaning "lenin's city". on 6 september 1991, the original name, sankt-peterburg, was returned. today, in english the city is known as "saint petersburg". local residents often refer to the city by its shortened nickname, piter ().
