Yes, it is. Here is the website of its government:

как и город Екатеринбург остаётся в Свердловской области

Why don't they just leave it. Do they have to get rid of EVERYTHING Lenin?

потому что у питера вообще т основатель не ленин
он там только сбоку на броневике прокатился...типа того
это типа персональный город товарища Петра П.

Персональный город *Святого* Петра...

а полюбому ильич пролетает на ЙУХ

I just thought it was a bit weird having a Ленинградская область but no Ленинград.

There are still plenty of Lenin places left in the ex Soviet states.

As there should be. Without lenin they would all still be living in mud huts smoking сорняк and rubbing dead sheep all over their bodies. I dont see what's wrong with a little civilization.

санктпетербуржская область -- хрень выговоришь, короче. Пусть будет ленинградская

я так думаю - город то переименовали а про область забыли. вот кто то допрет - и , как пить дать, переименуют и область а там еще придумают что область это пережиток старго совка и введут губернии.. ндаманда.... как это еще не все памятники посваливали то блин.
причем здесь памятники то? как в фильме говорили - "кто ж его посадит? он же памятник".

Right, like Russia wasn't already industrializing before the revolution... Please don't say the Soviets "did it better" or some other silliness.

Was i talking about Russia you silly duck? No, if you can even read you'd see the comments were about ex soviet states.

Actually, dogboy, almost all of the ex-soviet states were part of Russia before the revolution.

Oh were they. Im mostly speaking about the central asian states. I dont really know a great deal about the baltic states. ALthough, i think Russia had control of Ukraine before the revolution. At any rate. They should still be thankful Ради бога.

Yeppers, the central asian states were especially part of Russia.

"Native Kazakhs, a mix of Turkic and Mongol nomadic tribes who migrated into the region in the 13th century, were rarely united as a single nation. The area was conquered by Russia in the 18th century and Kazakhstan became a Soviet Republic in 1936"

"Annexed by Russia between 1865 and 1885, Turkmenistan became a Soviet republic in 1924"

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/...k/geos/uz.html
"Russia conquered Uzbekistan in the late 19th century. Stiff resistance to the Red Army after World War I was eventually suppressed and a socialist republic set up in 1924"

Ok so they were conquered by russia, that doesnt mean it was russia. It wasnt even part of the soviet union untill 1936. I mean, america conquered iraq, that doesnt make every iraqi an american.

Read about that one virgin planes plan Kruschev started in the 50s to get kazakhs to settle down and stop rolling in mud. They were hardly civilized.

aye, 'tis true. fook dem fecking muppets. 'Twas craic when we taught dem how to behave tho, them fooking moopets!!!!

The central Asian states were part of the Russian Empire and within Russia's borders. I think all of the Soviet Republics were part of Russia before the USSR, expect for the Baltics, and Moldova.

They were not simply countries that Russian had conquered, they were part of the ongoing expansion of Russia.

... including Baltics, Moldova, Finland and part of Poland.
