No Kalinin, I would prefer Vyatka instead of Kirov, Korolewic (Slavic midieval name for Konegsberg) instead of Kaliningrad, Petrograd instead of Leniningrad/St. Peterburg...

Although German names not as bas as commie, I prefer Slavic versions.

I prefer slavic versions- but many modern city names are of a foreign origin, such as St. Petersburg, etc. The communist names are at least Russian to an extent...that was my point. BTW, Kaliningrad was founded by the Teutonic knights...

Peter the "Great" (I prefer calling him Peter I) was a man who enslaved thousands of russians, murdered peasants and instituted a great reign of terror. By his own hand he murdered members of the Strelsy, he murdered his own son and anyone who got in his way. In many ways he was like Stalin.

I only know one truely great Russian Czar and that was Alexander II who, quite belatedly, liberated the Serfs of Russia.

The Greates person of all times would be Jesus Christ, followed by Buddah and Mahatmas Ghandi. The greatest American Leader was Henri David Thoreau, followed by Citizen Thomas Payne.

Petrograd is good... given RSDLP-B support for it

However, I'd rename Volgograd "Stalingrad" just for WWII purposes - and to pay respects to the greatest leader ever....

Alexander the Great

Volgograd should be re-named to its original pre-revolutionary name "Tzaritsyn" and cetainly not to Stalin's city again...

Petrograd name was a good idea, too bad nowdays its associated to closely with Bolshevist take-over.

I think Stalingrad is better- to give homage to the millions who died for the motherland and especially to the city's ihabitants of the unfortunate time. Not in praise of Stalin. After all- the name could be translated as "city of steel."
