Leningrad Courthouse

The Leningrad Courthouse is one of the four main structures on the city of Leningrad's Red Square plaza. It is famous for being the first structure built on the server. At that time, the server was called '''Kevinlikesgravel. Since this was before the Revolution, the courthouse was initially referred to simply as The Courthouse to correspond with the neighbouring city called The City'''. After the revolution, the courthouse was renamed and became a national landmark and historical pre-revolutionary monument.

History
The courthouse was designed by filmreelriley and built by him, with a little help from mcginger_1497 and derpadaneyal. Groundbreaking for the courthouse was on January 13, 2012 at approximately 11:52 AM. This courthouse would be the third incarnation of a courthouse on the server (see Courthouses for more information). For this courthouse, filmreelriley used the same design of the courthouse in '''Woodrift. '''The courthouse was completed two days after the ground breaking. The garden and fountains were added on January 16th, along with the original hammer and sickle.

The Revolution
When the revolution started, plans were immediately made for a capital. Instead of making a new city, The Order of Lenin completely renovated The City, which was renamed Leningrad in this process. The ice pond that the courthouse faced was replaced with a brick plaza called Red Square, which was designed by filmreelriley to include the Leningrad Courthouse. The hammer and sickle was made into a red banner sign with yellow propaganda letters which spelled "Высокий Советского Сервера" ("Awesome Soviet Server") by mcginger_1497. However, while the Kremlin was being built, the sign interfered with the building layout, so it was set on fire and demolished.

Usage and Design
The Leningrad Courthouse's main purpose is "to settle internal problems within The Order of Lenin in a logical and fair way." (filmreelriley) Despite this, the courthouse has never been used. It is said that after the Revolution, The Order of Lenin left their internal problems behind for the greater good of the nation.
