It's misspelled. I tried St Petersburg, Saint Petersburg, even Petrograd and Leningrad, to no avail.

this quiz was definitely not the hardest. i got all but two of the answers, including st. petersburg, which i didn't get credit for, as the person who wrote the quiz doesn't know how to spell. if the misspelling isn't changed, this quiz should be deleted.
