Former name of the Russian city St. Petersburg under communist rule. Used to be the capital of Russia before the Revolution. Leningradians are very proud of their city and think they are much more cultured then Moskovites, and think they suffered more from the Nazis then other cities.

Example:
"It was a long and terrible siege, but we survived. Troy fell. Rome fell. Leningrad did not fall!"
