Government Use section confused

Whoever wrote this section?! It's full of confused facts and broken timeline. There were two, not one "war with Germany", and the city was involved in both World Wars. If you meant World War II, any put it virtually at the beginning? If World War I, I don't remember hearing the city was bombed. The early 1990ies Petrosovet was full of liberal intellectuals, while the linked Petrograd Soviet of Workers and Soldiers' Deputies of 1917 was almost a century earlier and was revolutionary in favour of the Communist Soviets and was probably located elsewhere in the city - I don't know, while the liberal one and the present Legislative Assembly that replaced it by the constitutional reform following the second xouo, of 1993, cane to replace on this premises the Soviet time Leningrad City Soviet / Council and its executive arm the Executive Committee that was the city government which worked hand in hand with the regional Committee off the Communist Party that oversaw every activity because according to Article 6 of the Soviet Constitution the party was the leading and directing force of our society. The party office was in Snolny where the new executive lower figures replaced it in 1991. GregZak (talk) 13:00, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

During the first couple, of 1991, it was the stronghold of democratic forces, I think, as the new Council full of liberals had already been elected. Please correct from reliable sources. GregZak (talk) 13:06, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
