Peter is an unofficial abbreviated name for the city of Saint Petersburg (Russia). It is usually used in colloquial speech, in the press, and on the Internet. It is common among residents of other Russian cities, as well as among native residents of St. Petersburg.The name appeared in the XVIII century as a result of the colloquial abbreviation of the original name-St. Peter-Burch (from the Dutch Pieter — Peter, see the History of St. Petersburg). The official name of the city in Finnish is formed from the Russian colloquial Peter Pietari. In my opinion it is the most beautiful city in the World
