Wikipedia description:
Tsarskoye Selo (Russian: Ца́рское Село́, IPA: [ˈtsarskəje sʲɪˈlo] , lit. 'Tsar's Village') was the town containing a former residence of the Russian imperial family and visiting nobility, located 24 kilometers (15 mi) south from the center of Saint Petersburg. The residence now forms part of the town of Pushkin. Tsarskoye Selo is part of the World Heritage Site of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments. The town bore the name Tsarskoye Selo until 1918. The new Bolshevik government of Soviet Russia renamed it as Detskoye Selo (Детское Село, 'Children's Village'), which it held from 1918–1937. At that time, it was renamed under Stalin's government as Pushkin (Пушкин) after the famous Russian poet and writer Alexander Pushkin. It is still known by that name.
