Talk:Saint Petersburg

Possible explanation
Leningrad was the renamed city from 1924 to 1991, however the oblast (province) continued to be called Leningrad. The city was administratively separated from the oblast in 1931. To explain the references in Star Trek, it is possible that in the 21st or 22nd century a large modern urban area was built across the oblast to protect the heritage of St Petersburg itself. The core of some cities have already been relocated in this way, such as New Delhi, Quezon City, Islamabad and Purbachal. David 85.203.47.8 04:01, November 26, 2017 (UTC)
