	History Of Leningrad
		Petersburg, Petrograd, Leningrad - each name evokes a different image of a city that miraculously sprung into existence by the vision of a single man. Peter the Great was born on June, 29, 1672 on St. Peter's day.
		As the catalyst for Russia's Renaissance, Petersburg flowered in the music of Chaikovsky, Glinka and Rimsky-Korsakov; in the Ballets Russes of Diaghilev, Nijinsky and Anna Pavlova; in the arts and crafts of Repin, Benois and Faberge; and in the literature and poetry of Gogol, Dostoevsky and Pushkin.
		Leningrad started rebuilding itself immediately after the war, a Herculean task considering that one third of the city's buildings had been damaged and much of its infrastructure (factories, power stations, transportation networks, etc.) destroyed.

	Leningrad
		Leningrad, for many, is the name of the city as it was during W.W.II.
		After replacing Moscow as Russia’s capital in 1712, the city became home for most of the empire’s nobility and merchant class, who were persuaded by Peter to build houses in the new city.
		After the siege, Leningrad was awarded the title of "Hero City," the Order of Lenin, and a special defense metal, but it was not until the 1960s that it regained its prewar population of three million.
