St. PetersburgSt. Petersburg. The very name brings to mind some of Russia's greatest poets, writers and composers: Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky. The 19th century was a golden age for St. Petersburg's wealthy classes. It was a world of ballets and balls, of art and literature, of tea and caviar.
The golden age ended with the advent of World War 1. Working people were growing more and more discontented. In 1917, Communism came, promising peace and prosperity.
St. Petersburg had become Petrograd in 1914. People wanted a Russian name for their city. Ten years later, the city's name changed again, this time to Leningrad.
一提到圣比得堡,我們就想起許多偉大的俄國(guó)詩(shī)人,作家,作曲家,例如:普希金,杜斯妥也夫斯基,柴可夫斯基。19世紀(jì)是圣比得堡富有階層的黃金時(shí)代。充斥著那個(gè)世界的是:芭蕾與舞會(huì),文學(xué)和藝術(shù)以及茶葉和魚(yú)子醬。
黃金時(shí)代伴隨著一戰(zhàn)的爆發(fā)而結(jié)束。勞動(dòng)人民的不滿(mǎn)情緒愈發(fā)強(qiáng)烈。在1917年,共產(chǎn)主義到來(lái),并承諾帶來(lái)和平與繁榮。
圣彼得堡于1914年更名為彼得格勒。人民想要用俄文為他們的城市命名。十年后,彼得格勒再次更名列寧格勒。
