A
Peter the Great(1672～1725)was the ruler of the Russian Empire, who wanted his city to be unique in Russia. Therefore, the city was filled with canals like those of Venice, baroque(巴罗克风格的)palaces and British townhouses. Now the city has celebrated its 300th anniversary(周年).
Naming the city was a difficult matter. At first, Peter the Great called the new Russian city Sankt Pieter Burkh. But, he soon changed this to St Petersburg. When World WarⅠbroke out in 1914, it was renamed Petrograd. On the death of Lenin in 1924, it became Leningrad. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, it returned to St Petersburg. From the start, St Petersburg was a very modern, international city. It first became the Russian capital in 1712, and with this in mind, Peter hired a great deal of international talent to build and develop it.
The most obvious effect of this arrival of foreigners was in the design of the city’s streets, parks, palaces and government buildings. Although bombed to near destruction by Adolf Hitler’s forces in the 1940s, the city was rebuilt, stone by stone. What you see around you in the end of Catherine the Great’s rule in 1796, after nearly a century, is Peter’s city which was one of the finest in the world.
