St. Petersburg is Russia’s principal port
« on: May 22, 2012, 08:56:05 AM »
St. Petersburg is Russia’s principal port, and its geography and history make it immediately distinguishable from Moscow. St. Petersburg did not grow gradually from provincial
backwater to major metropolis like its southern rival—this city was built up from the
bogs, fast and furious, to be an imperial capital. Museums, palaces, and ballet and opera
houses are where St. Petersburg’s strengths lie. - Frommer's

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

St. Petersburg was not originally part of Russia, but actually was a territory of the Swedish Empire. The Swedes lost that region as well as Swedish Pomerania to foreign powers during the Great Northern War of 1700-1720.
