Leningrad

Leningrad is the sacred city capital of the Soviet Union Minecraft Server. It is the oldest civilization on the current incarnation of the server, and was founded by Mcginger_1497 in January 2012. The city has now expanded into two main sections; Greater Leningrad, which is the residential area, and Red Square, the government plaza.

Leningrad is named after the real-life Soviet city, which in turn was named after the Soviet revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin. The city, in Russia, is now called Saint Petersburg.

Leningrad was originally called "The City". The Leningrad Courthouse (formally "The Courthouse") was the first structure built in the city. On a nearby hill, Mcginger_1497 then built the first house, which now belongs to Derpadaneyal.

During the First Revolution, Red Square was constucted along with many larger buildings for the Order of Lenin headquarters. at this point, the city was named Leningrad for the Order of Lenin.
