From 1925 until 1991, the city of St. Petersburg was known as Leningrad. This name was adopted in honor of the Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin following the Russian Revolution. The name change reflected the city's significance in Soviet history, but it was reverted back to St. Petersburg after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
