Reminds me of a joke in Reader's Digest, remembered from high school days, which went:

USSR Government official: Where were you born?

Citizen: Saint Petersburg.

U: Where were you educated?

C: Petrograd.

U: Where do you live now?

C: Leningrad.

U: Where do you wish to live?

C: Saint Petersburg

That was around 1958, and I thought it amusing at the time. I now hope the Citizen was still living and enjoying life on the 51st anniversary of Kristallnacht in November 1989.
