***I am reminded of St. Petersburg in Russia . When the authoritarian regime took over , to prove how important their politics were, they changed the name to Leningrad. Didn't stick.***
Strictly speaking, they changed it to Leningrad from Petrograd, not St. Petersburg. They did that in 1924... the change to Petrograd was done in 1914, to get rid of a German sounding former name.
