Is st petersburg now Stalingrad

Answer 1

It didn't. Stalingrad changed its name to Volgograd after Stalin's death. Stalin's successor, Nikita Khrushchev, (rightfully) criticised the way Stalin had treated his people.

St Petersburg was originally founded in the 18th Century by Tsar Peter the Great, who wanted to create a modern European-style capital for the Russian Empire. When World War I began, its name was considered too German and it was changed to Petrograd. After the death of Vladimir Lenin, it became Leningrad for the rest of the Communist Regime. In 1991, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a referendum vote led to the restoration of the name St Petersburg.

Answer 2

No, this is a typical confusion. Between 1924 and 1991 St. Petersburg, Russia was called Leningrad (after Vladimir Lenin). The city of Stalingrad is now called Volgograd, and is located on Volga River.

Answer 3

Stalingrad became Volgograd, not St. Petersburg. As to St Petersburg, it used to be Leningrad and before that it had been Petrograd and before that it was St. Petersburg.

Peter the Great moved the capital of Russia from Moscow to the newly built city of St. Petersburg in 1712.
