The regional card of St. Petersburg residents will become even more useful.

The Leningrad Region, surrounding the city of St. Petersburg in Russia, is a historically significant area known for its rich cultural heritage and pivotal role in Russian history. Established in 1927, it was named after the Soviet-era name of St. Petersburg (Leningrad) and played a crucial role during World War II, particularly during the Siege of Leningrad, one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history. Today, the region is noted for its diverse landscape, including the shores of the Gulf of Finland, and numerous cultural and historical sites, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking to explore beyond St. Petersburg.
