Everchanging names of cities Photo

Photographer’s Note

It is written on the stone "Leningrad". Dedicated to soldiers who have fought against Germans in World War 2.

St.Petersburg was called Leningrad during Soviet times and right now St.Petersburg again.

And the photo was taken in Almaty. Almaty was called Alma-ata during Soviet times and right now Almaty again.

Almaty comes from "alma" and "ati", and means "city named apple" in Turkish.
