Saint Petersburg

I always found it fascinating. Further north than the entire Scotland and yet it's got a population matching that of Scotland. Lol.

No it seems that it was originally built by swedes but for some reason they let finns live there

whys there art of him in russia? thats like having a portrait of hitler in tel aviv

no one cares about the shitland

It was actually Polish sweaty x

so true bestie

>russians hate tsar man who was anti bolshevik
if you like commies so much why did you let soviet union to collapse

Pretty sure it has more to do with the siege than his role in the Civil War

>no one cares about the shitland
yes we fucking do, they have England's oil supply

my nigga englands entire oil supply is meaningless. build more nuclear reactors for the love of god. Also the yamama deal is still in place so oil shouldnt be that big of an issue for britain other than the russia stuff

Litwa Lotwa :-DDD

>thats like having a portrait of hitler in tel aviv
retarded take

Mannerheim made a career in the Imperial Russian Army, rising by 1917 to the rank of lieutenant general. He had a prominent place in the ceremonies for Emperor Nicholas II's coronation in 1896 and later had several private meetings with the Tsar. After the Bolshevik revolution of November 1917 in Russia, Finland declared its independence (6 December 1917) – but soon became embroiled in the 1918 Finnish Civil War between the pro-Bolshevik "Reds" and the "Whites", who were the troops of the Senate of Finland

desu i just searched up mannerheim and saw finnish war and just clicked out lmao

if we didn't have him in charge there would have been a Battle of Leningrad 8 September 1941 – 11 September 1941 instead of a siege.
Mannerheim spent a lot of his life in Pietari and didn't want the Finnish army to level it.

>build more nuclear reactors
yes, the geniuses in charge of this shithole have China building us some new nuclear plants here

they were uncivilized swamps and finns living there were literally ooga boogas so they didn't bother and build at their place

russians like idea of being successor of russian empire, but they are still feelin nostalgic of soviets that destroyed traditions of russian culture.

>Romantic dreams of russian empire, while kneeling for commie traitors and taking their anger to tsar man like mannerheim. Thats modern russia.

Best city in Russia. I don't care what happens with Moscow and anything outside of the Leningrad oblast
