The decisive events of the Russian revolution occurred in Saint Petersburg where the government sat at the time and was overturned by the Bolsheviks. At the time, the city it was known as Petrograd. Both names mean "the city of Peter", but when Russia entered WW1 against Germany in 1914, it seemed no longer apropriate to retain the German form of the name, so it was changed to sound more Russian. After Lenin's death in 1924, the city was renamed Leningrad ("the city of Lenin"), which it remained until 1991 when it was renamed back to Saint Petersburg. Since the early 20th century, Russians have familiarly referered to St. Petersburg/Petrograd/Leningrad simply as "Peter".
