Now that just strikes me as funny and sort of ironic. Wasn't
it known as St. Petersburg for quite a while before the Reds
renamed it to Leningrad?
There was a joke during the Communist era that had an old man saying "I was
born in St Petersburg, grew up in Petrograd and have lived all my adult life
in Leningrad. I hope to die in St Petersburg". For many people it came true,
happily.
I have a horrifying "vision" that I might learn to know that feeling
before I pass from this Earth.
