Saint Peter. Saint Petersburg is historically and culturally associated with the birth of the Russian Empire and Russia´s entry into modern history as a European great power.[12] It served as a capital of the Tsardom of Russia and the subsequent Russian Empire from 1713 to 1918 (being replaced by Moscow for a short period of time between 1728 and 1730). After the October Revolution in 1917, the Bolsheviks moved their government to Moscow.[13] As one of the most important tourism centers in Russia, Saint Petersburg received over 15 million tourists in 2018,[14][15] and is considered an important economic, scientific and cultural centre of Russia. In modern times, it is considered the Northern Capital and serves as a home to some federal government bodies such as the Constitutional Court of Russia and the Heraldic Council of the President of the Russian Federation. It is also a seat for the National Library of Russia and a planned location for the Supreme Court of Russia, as well as the home to the headquarters of the Russian Navy, and the Western Military District of the Russian Armed Forces. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so it is also referred to as Russia´s cultural capital.[16] Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world, and the Lakhta Center, the tallest skyscraper in Europe. Many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have offices in Saint Petersburg." - (en.wikipedia.org 24.10.2020)
