Peter the Great, in his big city - Peter's city, Russia

In most of the local tourist guides or maps, this iconic figure was shown on the cover.  Then I read a bit about how Saint Petersburg was resumed, after Leningrad and petrograd.  After World War I, the Imperial Russia tried to get rid of something German by naming the city to Petrograd.  Petrograd in Russia means  "Peter" "City".  Later on, after the death of Lenin, the city was named as Leningrad.  Then in the early 90's, the city was renamed back to Saint Petersburg.
