Saint Petersburg (pop. 4.5 million) is formerly known as Petrograd and Leningrad and serves as Russia’s most important cultural hub. The city and former capital of the country is considered to be the most Westernized city of the Federation due to European styled architectural landmarks like Saint Isaac’s Cathedral, Peter and Paul Fortress, Palace Square, Alexander Column, Petergof, Nevsky Prospekt and the Winter Palace.
