Which city was nicknamed Russia's window to the west?

Answer:

St. Petersburg is nicknamed "Russia's Window to the West" because Peter the Great strove to make it like every other great European city rather than the Eastern heritage of Moscow. It can be confusing, though, since St. Petersburg has also been called Petrograd and Leningrad.
