Tsar Peter I (the Great) conceived and built St.Petersburg, thumbing his nose at the Swedes, and moved his capital there when St.Petersburg was finished in 1712. He named it for his patron saint, St.Peter, it was not a mark of vanity on his part. After the October Revolution in 1917, Vladimir Lenin moved the capital back to Moscow.

Is st petersburg now Stalingrad?
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.
