Distance[edit]

So, um, why is the distance given in verst? Halfazebra (talk) 05:12, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beats me. Perhaps someone snatched it from some very old source? In any case, the distance I was able to find was 24 kilometers, which is still kind of suspicious but more believable. I've made the change.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change[edit]

Didn't they change it back to Tsarskoye Selo, well, my Dorling Kindersley guidebook says so.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.220.233 (talk • contribs)

No, they haven't. It was listed as Pushkin in the 2010 Census and still is in all St. Petersburg's laws and regulations (with the localities registry in particular last having been updated this October). There is a grass-roots initiative to return the old name, but so far it's not going anywhere. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 3, 2013; 13:13 (UTC)
