During the 70 years of Soviets rule, everyone in and outside Russia was used to calling it Leningrad. Leningrad poets wrote many poems dedicated to their city and the courage of its citizens.
On the day when the Siege was lifted the famous poet Anna Akhmatova wrote:. On a starless January night. Overwhelmed by its incredible fate. Pulled back from the depths of death Leningrad salutes itself. Starting in the name of the revolutionary leader appeared everywhere in the USSR, and since then every Russian city and town has either a street or a square named after Lenin. Moscow has both a prospect named after Lenin, and a prospect named after Leningrad!
The Soviet authorities loved to name the cities after famous Bolsheviks: Kaliningrad, Stalingrad, Dimitrovgrad and many titles like this appeared throughout the 20th century. Some were changed in the s, but many remained. Local authorities held a public poll, and more than half of citizens supported the initiative to return the historical name, St. Many people of the older generation still sometimes call the city Leningrad, just out of habit.
In , the citizens of Leningrad were given the opportunity to vote on the name change. As reported in the New York Times at the time , some people saw restoring the city's name to St. Petersburg as a way to forget the decades of turmoil during communist rule and an opportunity to reclaim its original Russian heritage.
The Bolsheviks, on the other hand, saw the change as an insult to Lenin. In the end, St. Petersburg was returned to its original name, but you will still find some people who refer to the city as Leningrad. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

Over the years, the Forum has been a place to discuss the most pressing issues facing both the Russian Federation as well as global economies. The need for open, constructive dialogue is particularly evident today. The COVID pandemic has impacted all countries across the globe, and has severely restricted international ties.
It is vital to work together as we forge a path to recovery. Other socioeconomic issues such as poverty relief, improving education opportunities, expanding employment and prospects for labour markets, as well as addressing violations of fair competition principles also require careful attention. We have long worked towards these ends through the Eurasian Economic Union, which has promoted principles of free trade, and facilitated mutually beneficial investments and common technological development.
The Russian Federation is also interested in closer economic, scientific, and technical cooperation with partners in other regions.
