Leningrad

[Edil Legno]

It's terrible mix of names and centuries.

 At the very beginning was Sanct-Peterburg  - because of its' builder (osnovatelja)   Peter 1703.(German - burg- later was changed into Russian -Slav. - grad -
 - Petrov grad =Petrograd. 

Later - the historical events  bring  another change - into Leningrad. 
Primer Peterburgskaja gubernija -changed into Petrogradskaja  and later both into Leningradskaja.

And present day events:zhiteli Leningrada golosovali za Peterburg,  i vsje v porjadke. A odkuda vdrug vzjalos' "staroje" nazvanje Petrogradskoje upravlenje ..... i Leningradskaja oblast'. Zdes' nejasno,pochemu ne vse stalo leningradskim.....!?
