Saint Petersburg (Russian: Sankt-Peterburg) is a city located in northwestern Russia on the delta of the river Neva at the east end of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. It is informally known as (Piter) and was formerly known as Petrograd (1914–1924) and Leningrad (1924–1991). Founded by Tsar Peter the Great in May, 1703 as a "window to Europe," it served as the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two hundred years (the capital was moved to Moscow after the Russian Revolution of 1917). With about 4.7 million inhabitants (2002), today Saint Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city, Europe's fourth largest city, a major European cultural center, and the most important Russian port on the Baltic.
