I read somewhere that Tsarskoe Selo, around the turn of the last century,
was the first fully electrified city in the world.  It was a 
middle-class suburb
with a commuter train taking people into St Pete for white collar jobs.
It was international in character, with a synagogue, protestant churches, and
a Catholic church, I believe.
