Saint Petersburg to Saint Leningrad: A Controversial Idea for Making Peace.
Reading
The city government of St. Petersburg liked the idea of changing the city's name back to Leningrad. Many groups, with different political views, want this change.
Some of these groups are the 'Union of Orthodox Stalinists', the 'Bolshevik Cossacks', and a political party called 'Yabloko'. They believe this name change will honor history and make everyone happy.
It's hard to know what everyone thinks about this idea because some people haven't given a clear answer. For example, the Communist Party said they will decide later.
Other political groups didn't say anything or made jokes. It seems like they don't want to talk about it right now.
So, while the city government likes the idea, it's not clear if everyone else agrees. We need to wait and see what happens next.
