Saint Petersburg
(known from
1914 to
1924 as
"Petrograd", and
1924 to
1991 as
"Leningrad"),
is a city in
Russia, located on the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea.
As of the
2002 census,
the city had a population of 4,661,219, making it the third largest city in
Europe
(after Moscow and London).
The city was originally founded by Tsar Peter the Great in 1703, and was capital of the Russian
Empire for more than two hundred years (1712 to 1728, and 1732 to 1918). Tsar Peter originally
intended for the city to be his "window to Europe", and, to this day, Saint Petersburg
has a reputation as the most European of Russian cities.
