Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Region

This region in northwestern Russia of 85,900 square kilometers (53,258 square miles) not only contains the famous city of St. Petersburg but also many other smaller cities and towns that are worth exploring. Although the region was formed in 1927, the modern boundaries were defined in 1944. In addition to the more than 1800 small lakes in the region, it contains the Ladoga and Onega lakes which are the largest European fresh water reservoirs. (The largest fresh water lake in the world, Baikal, is in the Asian part of Russia.)

The following is a list of sites describing the Leningrad region in general and the smaller cities and towns that surround St. Petersburg. Even though the capital of the region, Leningrad, was renamed to St. Petersburg in 1991, the region itself is still called Leningrad Oblast.

We hope this list will continue to grow as more communities become represented on the World Wide Web so please be sure to let us know if you are aware of any other sites.

Project Harmony

 

 

Make sure to visit the Project Harmony web site. This is one of the best organizations involved in US, Russian exchange - and they've been at it for a long time (since the days when US and Russian exchange was limited mainly to music and performing arts). Colleen Halley does a super job with their site (and with the Internet School Linkages Program).
