Stalingrad and Leningrad are not good examples. They both had other names before the Soviets did exactly what you're advocating and swept away history to make way for their new era of equality.

Kaliningrad still needs fixed - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Königsberg
It should rebuild the seven bridges to get all the graph theory tourism money.
In the meantime Broom Bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broom_Bridge is still standing and easily reached from the centre of Dublin ... just saying!
Quaternions didn't change much.
It's on my bucket list. They totally have a shot at my tourism dollar.
The Russians erased everything remotely German in Kaliningrad.

So ironically, the Jewish graveyard in Kaliningrad is one of the last monuments of the old city Königsberg, since the names are all German.

I think they still failed. You cannot erase Kant.
